The bobcat had been arranged to come out and dig some of the fill away from the fence so while he was there we asked him to push some dirt outside the patio, alfresco and back door to satisfy the inspector for the occupation certificate. During the morning he accidentally broke two pipes leading to the storm water. Luckily my dad was there and had spare pipes at home and quickly made the necessary repairs.
We also needed to make a temporary step from bricks outside the laundry door. The right hand side of the yard had a deep muddy puddle the length of the house, so it was a very messy job!
My husband and dad went to Harvey Norman to pick up the 85 boxes of flooring and we unloaded it all into the garage. Each box weighs 20kg so it proved to be a great workout! I have been dying to see the floor down. I love the colour and it will be nice not to have the worry of cleaning carpet.
So we got to work scraping lumps of paint and plaster off the floor and vacuuming the flooring, oh probably about 30 times, lol! It was cute to see the kids trying to help clean up too.
Fiona, you must be buggered! Great job your dad was with you when the pipes sprung a leak...good onya bobcat driver!
ReplyDeleteOh so cant wait to see your flooring down, have you got pics of the colour? I sooooooooo wanted to put timber floors in our house but hubby was deadset against it :(
It would've suited our design like moths to a flame but he over ruled and I gave in like always (sux I can't have it ALL my way lol) and went with PP tiles ho hum.
Oh scrapping the floors....gotta love doing that....not! We only had to do our garages (painted polished look) thank god but that was a job and a half but well worth the effort.
Makes cleaning the garage floor so much easier and no concrete dust walked in...happy days!
