Electrical, down pipes, carpet & Doug's home to check it all out

What a week this has been! Not only have we had all internal wiring complete, but the down pipes have been installed and the cladding for the eaves is lying eagerly in wait. DH came home on Wednesday, a day late due to very rough weather at sea, and I was finally able to take him out to the house this weekend to check it out blast time he was home the frame had been delivered but not built yet so a lot of changes had happened. My photos just don't do it credit

Plumbing and Carpet

What a weekend! And also what a past week! We are currently a couple of weeks away from lock up :) and Doug has come home in time to check it out before then!
All electrical has been completed along with plumbing. We decided to head up the coast for a bit of time together on his first weekend home. The weather was awful so instead of the planned lying on the each all weekend we found ourselves in the shopping centre, where a rug in sale caught our attention. It was beautiful, white, thick and soft - perfect for under the family room couch. During chats with the sale guy we mention were building, we are then sitting down measuring up our plans and selecting carpets. Before you know it we have selected the carpets for our house - a compromise if soft, sink your feet in warmth for the bedrooms to keep me happy, and short haired, patterned texture for the living areas for Doug. We needed a breather so stepped our to think before we placed the deposit and walked into beacon lighting. Bad decision. After walking out with a great light for over the dining room table we sucked it up and placed a deposit on our carpet. A busy weekend and my little beetle probably breathed a sigh of relief after we pulled the huge rug out of the back of it!
