Goodbye June...you were supposed to be the one

So June 20th has been and gone and, surprise, surprise, we are still living in a rental and waiting for our house to be completed.  There has been some progress this week (ending 2nd July). On Monday - soffit boards, garage door, bits and bobs, Tuesday - nada, Wednesday - shower screens completed, Thursday - mouldings fitted to the facade and....wait for it....the missing bench top. Hoorah!!!  Our PCI is locked in for 12th July but there is still so much to do. Tiling at benchtop and alongside master bath, rendering, electricals to name but a few.  Oh, and we didn't realise the mouldings would be going on our facade columns so that means our new LED up/down lights won't work. Bugger! Back to Beacon we go.

Having said that, we have had to start planning for our move. Of course, if we were to settle 2 weeks after the PCI, then that would be a week before I have to go to the US for work.  Bloody typical.  So assuming we do get the keys then, we will install fireplace on 27th, concrete on 28th, and lights etc fitted that weekend.  I will then be away so we will book removals for 11th Aug and hand back the rental on the 15th. By this time I will be overseas yet again so I have one week from 7th to 14th Aug to do all those jobs and get the move complete.  Exciting but daunting as well. Was really hoping we would be in by now.  Anyway, here are the latest pics....

A different view looking across water to rear of house. 

Shower screen complete. Quite like these frameless shower screens. 

Mouldings. These are cool. Polystyrene covered in a render. They will be painted to match facade render colour. 

At last...the long awaited benchtop.

Progress so far....
