Drafts

As I mentioned before, we bought a fridge. It is a very nice fridge. It is a very expensive fridge. It is a very deep fridge. This is good because it means it can hold a lot of food. This is good because it can hold a lot of big things like salad bowls. This is bad because our cupboards aren't very deep. This is bad because it sticks out 35cm.

I've had this draft waiting to be published for over a month. I wanted Felicity to write it, but we went and got busy. Er, we've had a really busy month. Fringe, Festival, Election, Work, Work, Driving, House,... you get the picture.

This Picture, in fact.

The house is steaming along. We've paid our third progress payment, which is needed after the bricks and roof reach substantial completion. Which means it just has to be mostly done. Which means it isn't. The roof is done, and has been since the bricks were delayed for two weeks. The bricks are mostly done. So we have to pay. Well, we have to get the bank to pay and then pay the bank interest. So, as the house progresses, you get to ease into the feeling of immense debt. The only bit left of the bricks is the difficult to get to gable of the garage, the front nib walls either side of the garage door, the bit above the kitchen window and all of the window sills.
During our incredibly hectic last week, the insulation was put in. (Well... yeah, I'll leave that for later) The plumbing for the fridge was put in. (Also... this one later too) and the gyprock went in for the ceiling. And then all the walls.
Makes a big difference, does walls.
So, it is good.

This good.

Final note:When we described the fridge size problem to Megan at Harvey Norman Renovations, she sorted it out that day. I think we're going to have to pay for her brownie points in actual brownies. If we can't catch any, maybe I'll just have to cook Hugh's recipe.
