Of course, we would cop the wettest, muddiest weekend of the entire year for our big move.
Never mind, we're all moved, and at least partly unpacked. As long as we can find food and clean underwear, everyone's happy. Come to think of it, the kids could probably survive quite well without the clean underwear. ;o)
More photos to come when I get a bit more organised and a LOT more spare time.

Are we there yet?
Got my Redi Shade temporary blinds in the mail yesterday, so guess what I'm doing this afternoon?
The floating floor will be completely finished this morning, and I plan to go take some photos later today. Promise to post them here.
We have a few trades booked in to finish stuff off - replacement of some fascia today, a small repair to the bathroom vanity cabinet next week, a service for the bifolds the week after, and the painter is coming Monday or Tuesday to do a few touch-ups. And I've just emailed our construction manager a short list of minor stuff that the fixing carpenter didn't do prior to handover, to make sure it doesn't get overlooked.
Apart from that, appliances and carpet go in next week, and then WE go in. :o) Must do something about that landscaping request form. Where did I put that.....?
Now I'm just getting impatient. We're soooo close!

Getting closer
We've got through a lot in the past few days. The site supervisor sent a cleaner on Sunday, to deal with the mess the tradies left on Thursday/Friday. He also organised for a locksmith to come yesterday, and we now have all entry sets and deadlocks keyed alike. One key - much better!
Yesterday was a busy day, with our driveway poured and the flooring guys getting the boards down in the family/dining rooms. The house is starting to look a lot more like we imagined it.
Today the floor progressed down to the front door, our gas meter turned up and we had a guy come over and replace the mesh in a flyscreen that had paint stuck in it. By the end of the week, the floating floor should be finished, the fences ought to be up - at least along the side boundary, with the post holes dug in the correct positions along the rear boundary, and we'll have a few small jobs done ourselves (stuff like sealing the pebble feature tiles in the showers, painting the letterbox...).
We're right on schedule so far....
