And from the top...

It's still the same story, it looks much better here than in the photo. I will try again to see if I can get some sort of a better pic for you, in the night the wires all reflect off the ceiling & they look like a wire sculpture on the ceiling.

The blinds went in today & one side of the fence, the other side will be done tomorrow. The blinds need some adjustment so Glen will be back over tomorrow to fix the ones that are not working properly. Will take some pics in the morning. Have got lots happening tomorrow, deliveries coming, clothesline going in & some of the Mum's from School coming for a look.....

Our youngest son's indoor cricket team got knocked out last week so they are not in the Grand Final on Friday but we are still having the sausage sizzle this Friday for them. I haven't been into School for the last 2 weeks as there has been way to much going on, so I am not sure how many kids we will get. They also have their Athletics Carnival on Friday so hopefully they will all be really tired & go home early!!!!

The Media room got it's first screening on Saturday night, the eldest son & his mate watched a DVD along with my husband. The chips & drinks all went in with them & they did come out a few times for refills but it was a big success.

The light is in....

It is really hard to take a pic that does this light justice. Everyone that has seen it so far has said "Wow" so I am not sure if they hate it or love it. Even the kids came home after it had been installed & that was what they said, but they think it's just fantastic.

It is reflecting off the glass so you get to see it twice, as you walk in the door you see it first in the glass & then as you walk in & look up you get the whole thing. I think it is divine & it certainly makes a statement, it took the electrician till 2.30 yesterday to get it in. we had to hire scaffolding to install it as each of the crystals were hung individually. I unwrapped all the crystal things while my husband went over to the rental & cleaned out the shed & did the back yard.

I took the keys back to the Real Estate this morning, talk about being treated like the dirt at the front door by the girl that took them. I think that she thought that she was much better than I was, as I was just handing back keys to a rental property!!!! I am sure she would have changed her attitude if I was the landlord.... Anyway she was doing the inspection this afternoon at 4.00 she said that I could go if I wanted to be there but I had kids that were coming home from School so it was much more important to be with them!!!!!

Dining Room

They delivered the rest of the chairs yesterday & there was also a problem with the way the table moved when you extended it. The guys that originally delivered it said that when they delivered the chairs they would fix it, but when they saw it they said that it needed to be replaced as it couldn't be fixed. So I am still waiting on a call from them as to what is going to happen.

The electrician is here at the moment installing the video monitor, you can see the screen in the pic (it's also his tools on the floor)

I have the guy here applying the sealer on all the showers, we have only been using the main bathroom shower so that it was easier for them to apply it to all the other showers & tiles. He said that you will only have to wipe it over with a damp cloth to clean it so no more bleaches or shower spays as we won't need them. Will see how it goes.

We are really happy with all the lights that are in, I love the one over this table. All the others in the downstairs area are the same but don't hang down.

Our old lounge in the new house

We are going to use it for a while, not sure what we were thinking when we picked this colour. it did go in both the other houses & because it is in the leisure room you can't see it from anywhere in the house unless you are in that room. We have other things to spend money on at the moment so it will have to stay for a little while. I got new cushions made to try & make it fit in a little better. The rug is for the room next to the dining room but that lounge is about a month away so I will use it there for the time being.
I call it hideous but a friend visited yesterday & commented on our new lounge!!!!!

For all the fellow Wisdom builders

There has been some talk about a gap around the window frames of their houses. It did happen to us as well but this is how it has been fixed & unless you knew it was there I am sure that you wouldn't notice it. The window that it concerns is the one on the right of the pic, now to the right of that window the aluminium strip is wider than on the other sides of the windows. Trust me you will not notice it at all, in the Impression it is the WIR window.
Notice the beautiful sheet curtains that we have, my husband made them, we will be taking orders very soon so if anyone is interested you to could have the same look!!!!!!

All the blinds are due to be installed on Monday, it will be good to have them in......
