New Neighbours

Today was just a simple trip down to the house to check out any progress and return the "Choices Book". We had been hanging onto the book for longer than normal, we just couldn't let it go, almost as if we were trying to keep it LOL!!

We were being pressured by the Developer Ladies and we just couldn't put it off any more. So after scanning the book we reluctantly remembered to put it in the car for the drive down to the site. Drive was ok, just a little showery rain on the way down, it really isn't that far now, the journey goes very quickly.

So 45 minutes later, we were pulling up into Shears Road, looking for our house. No further movement on the build but the scaffolding has been moved up to the second floor roof joists, ready for putting in the ceiling and then the roof. The pictures below show the other houses in the street. They already have their roofs on, so the neighbours should be in before us......We wont be far behind.

We also drove around the back of the plot to take a look, as you can see from the picture below, the Roof is ready to go. the trusses are ready to be fitted, so it wont be long now.

So pleased with our visit to the site, we headed to the office to hand in the book. Talking about the neighbours........in the office was a couple who turned out to be our neighbours. They were very friendly and very chatty, so we are very excited to have such pleasant neighbours and we are looking forward now even more to our move into our new house.

It really was a good trip!! Next week is our last week in work before our holidays, so if I have time and there has been any progress, then I will report as normal. WATCH THIS SPACE!!

Real Progress

The first saturday in July was a great day, the sun was out so it was a warm day with very little wind. It really was a great day. We drove down to Andover in no time, shades on and music playing loud in the car, really enjoying the morning. So far the day was perfect, what else would make our day better?? May be some progress on the house!!!

As we drove into the estate, for the first time, I didn't look across the green.......Very odd, as I normally look but today I didn't, so I really had no idea what to expect. As we turned the corner into the street, we couldn't initially work out if we saw our house or the house next door.  But it was ours!!! OMG, look how big it is!!! IT'S OUR HOUSE GROWING IN FRONT OF OUR EYES.

The last time we saw the house the brickwork was only at first floor joists and now its right up there, above the window frames upstairs, so now we are waiting on Second floor joists, then it will be roof!!

Below are the pictures from today.

This is real progress!!! I hope the weather stays fine, soon we will have a roof!! I will update soon.
