Let there be light ....
















Well - almost all of the electrics work - as shown by some of these pictures. The painters finished yesterday and the kitchen bench glass splashback was installed today. It is a deep red (Pohutukawa) colour and looks very rich and moody. The last of the appliances (refrigerators/freezers and microwave) arrive on Friday. Carpet will go down in the next few days downstairs (the old stuff) but the new carpet upstairs will have to wait for a while until the bank account recovers. The last picture is of the bathroom which is looking just great with a super tiling job done by Bartek Wypych. Tomorrow the plumbers start connecting the kitchen and bathroom (taps, toilet, shower and appliances). We turned on the hot water today so are really approaching completion. The air conditioning was completed also, but there is a glitch as it appears the compressor has been under-spec'd and will need to be upgraded to a bigger model to support the system. Strange that it needed the units themselves to tell the company that it couldn't support the demand.... I will await their offer with interest!!

Moving back this weekend although there are still things to be done but at least it is survivable.
Enjoy the pictures.
