Love, bubs and life on our little farm

Its been a constructive week (no pun intended!) - the electrician has almost finished and we now have power and lights to the extension. It is very exciting to have that all done.

We have been trucking along with the painting at night when we can. The lounge room is complete besides the skirting boards and architraves, which I have done the first coat on now. The tiles in the living room are finished tomorrow and then I can do the final coat on the skirting. I am struggling with the sleep deprivation from Bronte's night wakings, the long days with Elka and then nights of physical work in the extension. I had a shocker the other night where I was exhausted and trying to paint with blurry eyes and I walked straight across the wet bedding for the tiles. Yep wasn't real happy with myself!

We shopped for carpet today - the study, bedroom and walk in robe will all be carpeted. We have a clear winner at the moment, they kindly let us take the samples home and I am pretty pleased with what we have picked. We are hopeful that it won't take too long to be installed.

I also had a smidge of a whinge at the builder about not having a front door and when I came home from picking up Jase's new car (which is super pretty!) I found that the builder had built me a lovely path into the front door so that I can now access it. I am loving the shorter walk! He also picked up on how keen we are to get into the new area so he came in and worked today despite it being a Saturday. He is working 10-12 hours a day on site - at 65 yrs old he must be tired! He is meticulous which means quite slow but we are appreciative of the precision of his work, just struggling to be patient on this last stretch!
