5 Months Down!!!


Can you believe it! Yes, truly, it has been 5 months already....we started on the 17th February.
A lot has been achieved - 99 % of the brick work is complete. We have ordered all our windows and doors and expect installation to begin in the next 10 days. The kitchen design is done and we are waiting for the plastering to be done for final measurements. The swimming pool is being sorted on wednesday-hopefully. General plastering,plumbing and electrical continues. The garage doors are to be installed on Friday - no motors. All the plaster has been stripped of the servant quarters and as soon as the garage doors are on we can start work on the "games room" and servants quarter. The reason for the delay is so that Steve and Simeon (who have been staying on site from the beginning) can move to the garage. This adds a little security to the property. We also have a beautiful gas braai on the patio and a wood fire in the living room. What more can the Joburg Johnnies ask for...............................maybe to move in?

I am sure it will be - IN THE END. Today was another tough day with some reprimanding of the roofing (what's new),plumber & electrician. The roof guys only started work at 11.30am (& knock off at 3.30ish).....the plumber and electrician have been told they are to finished all 1st fix so that the plasterer can get going! SHEW
