Who could ever have imagined how much work would go into knocking a door way through to the big room. Having to drop the floor hasn't helped resulting in 16 wheel barrows of hard core and 5 dumper truck loads. After that I had to put in a couple of concrete pads to get a level to work the new floor up from. Kirsty happily helped with the concrete by putting both her feet in it as it was going off because she wasn't paying attention. We're on the up now though with the new floor complete, the steps down to the big room complete, stud work well under way and first fix electrics and plumbing complete too. Ideally the mission is to be back on line with water by next weekend but budget restraints may push final completion into next year.
I managed to get the grass cut for the final time this year. It was very wet and clogged up the mower on numerous occasions but it was well worth the effort to get it back to a manageable length again.
The kids have just over two weeks left at school before the holidays and then, in no time at all, christmas will be on top of us. I'm saving my excitement for after christmas though as we're heading towards a super New Years party with plenty of friends.
