Ready for lining

Once again other things like building houses have interfered with the writing of blogs. The construction process continues with its delays and frustrations. The plumbing and wiring are in place, the pre lining inspection has been done and approved. The kitchen is being built, and the Gib board is now on site. The pieces of cladding to finish the outside arrived during the week. This is the third delivery of material needed to rectify the stuff up in ordering the original kit. Last Monday the electrician was here, I spent most of the day helping him and then put the batts in the ceiling. I put in 11 ½ hours that day! This meant that when the inspector came to do the water pressure test on Tuesday he could also do the pre line inspection. The inspector is a nice guy, it is just a shame that he has to deal with such a pettyfogging beaurocracy. The ongoing battle withthe council over the rainwater disposal continues. The person at the marina who is helping me is constantly waiting for the council to send material and actually define what they want.
My knee is holding up well with only the occaisional twinge of pain, some of which must be muscular as I work it more and more.
I am really working hard to get the house useable by Christmas, and then will take things easier and maybe even get in some fishing. Social life has been mainly around the RSA. There have been several visitors in motor homes who have stayed a night or two. One couple, Cliff and Chrissie Buckley, from England spent two nights and were very interesting company.
I hope to get another blog done before Christmas, but if not; all the best for the festive season to all of my avid readers.
