YAY for Adenbrook

We called Adenbrook yesterday and said we had a few concerns and our site supervisor called us back with an offer to meet us there today. We arrived at 10am to find that both supervisors had made the trip out to see us. We talked about our concerns and Adenbrook explained what was happening and agreed they could change the slope of the back yard for us. They offered some suggestions that could make the slope even less which we were really happy for. At the end of the meeting we both felt really positive and were very grateful for the effort that Adenbrook had gone to, just to make us feel better.
There were 3 guys out there trying to get thru the rock to build a retaining wall and it looked like hard work. Glad it wasn't us :) We did go and get them some drinks as a thank you tho.

Michelle's Christmas Present


Please join my campaign to convince Bryan that "Avalon Reign Merlot" (pictured here) is the perfect gift for Christmas this year.

Future Residents

A quick introduction to the other residents of our new home - Wombat and Donut.
They are having a bath and keeping clean in anticipation of the big move to come.
And here they are having breakfast in bed on Saturday Morning:

More Dirt

Seriously didn't think that there was room for more dirt - but they found some.

One of us has serious concerns about the work done so far - the less emotional one is being patient and waiting to see what happens next. Not to mention the fact that we were told the electricals and plumbing had been done - apparently with magical invisible pipes and wires.....

Check out some of the following pictures and tell us what you think....

Lights, Camera, Action!

I had the chance to swing by the block today - we finally have activity!

The site has been cut and filled, and one of the retaining walls is in progress. The slab is scheduled to be laid on the 13th of the month. Anyhoo as the title says it was still light, I had the camera, now here's the action!

While We Wait

All we can do now is wait. Construction is set to start on the 31st of July - another 8 days to go. We are keeping ourselves busy in the meantime - as shown in the picture, today Bryan built a new indoor winter hutch for the girls. It looks fantastic and is just what they needed. Nevertheless Bryan would not like to discuss the experience any further!
An added photo of the girls in their new hutch!
