One More Day to Go!!

I've been offline this week as we moved last Thursday out of our rental property.... We had gone with the information we were receiving from our SS regarding a predicted finish date and then over- estimated this time for any unforeseen issues (by nearly 8 weeks mind you!!). However, we still missed the date by over two weeks... So we have been living in a caravan in the caravan park since last Thursday! We love camping, but I am completely over it!! Camping is very different when you still have to get up for work and get the kids to kinder etc. Anyway, we have handover tomorrow! I'm a little disappointed to say I'm not doing a heap of fist pumps or happy dances yet as there is still quite  bit of uncompleted work. Our SS has assured us, that other than the windows, everything else will be done by tomorrow. He has ordered all our double glazed windows that need to be replaced (there are a lot of them) but they will not be completed for handover. This makes me incredibly nervous, but apparently it is signed by approx 100 people to say it will all be done by a set date. We have our flooring booked for Monday and if this wasn't the case then there is no way I would be going through with handover. We have had to change and delay the flooring so many times due to delays that we cannot do it again - our company has been so flexible but I doubt we will have flooring by Christmas if there were to be any more changes. So we will need to sign off, but I will be making sure that the documents are black and white as to what is going to be done and when!!  I know we will be really excited tomorrow when that time comes, but it's slightly tarnished that it's not all done. Although, I don't feel like it will ever really feel and look complete until the flooring is laid (obviously). Spending the next week in the caravan while the flooring is done is also a little of a dampener!!

Home, Sweet, Home..... For the time being!
