Hi everyone. Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few days.  The blog site had had some issues and not only was it saying that my blog no longer existed I couldn’t find anywhere on the site to contact anyone!!  very frustrating.  However the universe has now starting re-spinning in the right direction and we’re back on track. So, the update since my last post: The lad came home for the weekend armed with a “Gas Level” or Zip Level as they are otherwise known. (Oh the extent of my building terminology is now getting out of control – lol).  So Sunday morning we raced out here and the zipper (as it’s known by some others who use it more than me) was deployed. An intial survey of the finished pad on Friday night under the glaring gaze of car head lights had us believing the worst! That my baking had infact had the reverse effect on the concrete crew and they’d left us with something resembling a roller-coaster track.   However, all fears (and hasty judgments of the concrete boys) were quickly dispelled by the zipper who gave results that say we have .10millimetre of variation across the whole pad. Apparently the council people  or builders will allow up to .25 before they require remedial leveling so we have a super duper job on our site.  :))  Maybe the baking was ok after all  – even if they didn’t eat all my healthy museli bar slice.  (B says i have to just quit with trying to convert them and just go straight to the pies next time – sigh). Will post some photos of the zipper and it’s operator in action tomorrow.   Anyway – on to the most important news of the day – Winston Peters is secretely married to Judith Collins – kidding. No – far more important than petty politics – our frames have arrived!!!!  Wooo HOOOO.  However, upon inspection tonight, i’ve had another spacial failure moment and determined that they all look far too low/ small and that perhaps they have the internal height of our house all wrong.    I did contemplate lying onthe concrete to measure my height against the frame height but there were puddles and i don’t do lying in puddles (that’s next weekend at the Tough Guy Tough Girl Challenge when my team will beat the one B is in ) There has also been some progress on the start of the timber for the retaining wall which is good as i was getting worried about exactly when i was going to fall into the very deep holes dotted along the base of the hill – because it was only a matter of time before my nightly dash to the toilet went horribly wrong.  Just as well too because those holes are so damn big and deep being my height i’d never have got out and no doubt Kia would have taken it upon herself to eat my dinner off the bbq. Ok – enough waffling on – here are some more pics to show that we really do have a kitset house ready and waiting for the guys to put number 45 next to 46 and so on…

Photo bomb by Kia – again!

Guess they do belong to us…
