WE GOT THERE!

We now have our Certificate of Occupancy, and what a relief that is. Not that we were worried that we wouldn't pass, just that all the required paperwork and arranging appointments etc has stopped.
Stan has worked his little butt off for the last two years, and finally might slow down just enough to enjoy our new building. I am starting to tell our 'friends' it is safe to visit now, the painting has virtually finished.
Won't it be strange not having to sweep up any sawdust Sunday mornings as we pack to come back to Pakenham. I really won't miss that!
We know the reverse cycle air conditioners work for heating, from our next visit we might have to try out how well they cool!
We still have a few minor things to finish off, but nothing that won't matter if it doesn't happen for several months.
We ordered seven vanities and they are all in place and connected. That sounds an awful lot but it just happened that way. One of those is the laundry trough.
We were hoping we would have a real bed delivered by the time we go there next, but don't think that will happen. But at least it should be there in time for Christmas holidays.
With a bit of luck we will have time to 'smell the roses' over Christmas. Nearly ready to start sorting out the non existent 'front garden'.
A few weeks ago, last time we were there, it was lovely to hear construction work being carried out on nearby hangars, knowing we'd already 'been there, done that'!
