Nearly there (touch wood)

Well, it's been quite a slog, but it seems we are nearing the end of this building journey! The house is, for all practical purposes, completed. There are a few minor things left to do, like the washing line being installed, and the front screen door being put on (the one they bought was the wrong size, so they had to get another one), but other than that, it's done. Now we're just waiting on the bank to sort out the final payment, then we should get the keys.

Of course, even once that is done, it won't be time to move in. We'll still have to arrange to have the floors installed, the phone connected, curtain rods put up, and many other little details. Still, hopefully it won't be long now.
