House Update

Well, another week has passed and the physical appearance of the house has changed so much. Most of the paintwork is now complete. The kitchen has been installed, and there was a worker there today preparing the benches ect. for the sinks to go in. Whilst we are now so close, I do not believe we will have handover until some time early in the new year.

Here are some of the latest photos:

Update

Well, week one at the new Sydenham Library has been busy. A large amount of stock is now on the shelves and we have started setting up all the little bits and pieces that you never usually think about.
There has been a small amount of progress with the house. The brickwork has been cleaned, and the edges around the windows and doors have been painted. We were lucky enough this week to be able to get inside the house! So here are some photos:

We Finally Have A Library

This week promises to be a very busy week. As of tomorrow, I will finally be working out of Sydenham Library. The library is currently scheduled to open around the 10th of December. This week will mean a lot of shelving and setting up, so it promises both to be fun and exhausting. However there will be no computers til at least November 20.

The house has not progressed a great deal. Skirting boards have been done, and that's about it. I think we are currently waiting on the cabinetry before they can paint.

Our calendar is already starting to look really busy. It is filling up fast with work and social commitments. I have not even started Christmas shopping yet, and have not even thought about what I'm going to get most people (maybe since Sean likes shopping he could do it all???)

I don't think I made an entry of it (have been a little lazy with the blogging as of late), but my Grandpa is home from his week and a bit in Hospital. Took him and Grandma to see the progress on the house today, as at his lowest moment in Hospital he told mum that he was just living to see my house finished, then he can die. I'm not sure if that is a good thing to say or a bad thing.

Another thing I haven't blogged about is that I am to be an uncle. My youngest sister (17 YO) has gone and got herself pregnant to some feral guy. So that is making life interesting as it appears both her and the boyfriend have no grip on reality and have gone totally feral. I think the way it has happened has taken all the joy that becoming grandparents should be away from Mum and Dad. My Grandparents and Sean all now refer to Celina and her boyfriend as the Gypsies living out of their car. Very stupid girl!

Anyway, hope you all have a great week.... A
