House Update - It's A Tardis!

I just noticed that it's been quite a while, over two months to be exact, since I've written a proper update on the house. Much has happened in the meantime, some of which I have shared on occasion. The house is built, the roof is on, windows and doors built in. The stairs are in, and currently, the heating and water pipes are being laid.

On the downsite, the town has still not provided access to power and gas for our lot, so it is questionable whether the flooring layer can be poured before winter or have to wait until spring. So move-in is still completely open, but I am happy to say that I am not stressing out any more. It'll happen when it does, sometime next year. In the meantime, we are looking forward to a last, quiet holiday season in our home here.

On another note: we have heard from several people who have seen our house that it seems to be a lot larger on the inside than what it appears on the outside. Once the blue paint is on, we will truly have our very own Tardis  ;-)

    1. Thanks a lot, Jen! Eventually, this one will be the middle unit of a 3-unit town home. And I'm so surprised that even by itself it looks nice ;-)

  2. It's looking great! It's a good thing you're not stressing about it. You've got a great attitude with the move-in, because I know I'd be stressing no matter what! It's always so cool to see the process and stage-by-stage development of such a huge project. =0)

    1. Thanks so much ;-) Actually, the not-stressing-out part was quite a learning process. We've been dealing with people who are inept in various degrees for about 9 months now, and without the gentleman who sold the lot to us, we'd been completely lost.

    1. Isn't it ;-) It won't be exactly the tardis blue color, but it's going to be a blue house!

    1. Thanks so much, Susannah! The amazing thing about this house is that it has almost no "dead" space, so even though it's not the largest house, every square meter will be used. Can't wait to actually move in and work on this place ;-)
