Renovation progress, day 4

On Friday our builder, Dan, came back in and finished off the skirting boards and straightened out the sliding door that  leads into the house. He’s going to fit that door with a claw-style latch so we can keep C and bub#2 inside the house.... and limit the noise inside the house when I start cranking Beethoven (or Jamiroquai).

The painter came back in too, and finished off another coat after Jamie the plasterer had sanded off his work on Thursday evening:

Also on Thursday evening we picked C up from daycare and went directly our local Good Guys and purchased a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries 2.6kW split system, which we’re getting installed next week (assuming that the floor to ceiling cupboards are installed by then). The recommended installer lives barely 500m from us.

Joel the electrician is coming back tomorrow to finish off the lights, and relay our phone cable (that’s what the strand f cat5 in the corner is for) so that the socket doesn’t come out of the master bedroom and remove the need to run a cable all the way along the hallway. It’ll make quite a change from what we’ve had to do over the last 10 years!

So we’re nearly, nearly done. Can’t be done soon enough, frankly, but I’m glad we finally got things happening.
