House Construction Photos

Hi Everyone,
As promised, here are some photos of the progress on our new place:

Job Change - Take 2

Well, for the second time this year I am about to change jobs. I am moving to the Sydenham Library which is still under construction as a Customer IT Officer.

The main reason behind this move was that a it was around the same amount of money, and is closer to home (about 20-30 mins compared with the 1 hour I do now, or around 5-10 mins once I move to my new place) which means that I will save on both petrol and City Link. It also means that I will get to spend more time at home, and has the added advantage of a 9 day fortnight.

Even though I will be based in a library, it is not a library job. The main resonsibilities include IT help desk support for the public, and running training programs which is the element I am looking forward to the most.

I start the new Job on Monday September 25, and finish my current job on Friday 22nd (no break between - can't afford one at the moment). I'm a little sad to be leaving my current job after such a short time period. I was just starting to settle in and get really comfortable with everything I was doing, and all my workmates.

House Dramas

Last night Sean was looking over the houseplans which I had left at his place at the window structure as he had noticed that the windows on the Frame did not look the same as what we had seen at both the display home and on our houseplans. So that resulted in an 11pm phone call which I was not impressed about cause it woke me up.

Anyway, Sean spoke with the builder on the phone this morning and it turns out that they had stuffed up, and we are now getting the windows we originally thought we were getting (and wanted), so the frame is being adjusted today and there should be no real delay in the build time.

We went to the block Monday night to show Seans brother the progress, and they now have the second story frame complete and have started on the brickwork. They have also done the ground floor frame and some of the brickwork for the other Warehouse next door, but the other 2 Warehouses in our lane are still just slabs. I will post some pics soon.
