A front door and more

As of yesterday (14th Jan) everyone was back to work - as far as our house was concerned anyway. We paid a visit on Saturday to see whether anything had been done over the holidays and discovered that the sidelights had been delivered on the 2/1/08 and were laying in the sitting room waiting to be installed.

On arriving there today, we found that the correct sidelights had been delivered (YAY!!) along with the matching front door.

Was it worth it??? If you had have told me that we wold have had to wait 2 months for them I probably would have said "don't worry about them - we'll take the standard..." but they look awesome don't you think? They will be painted "goanna" (bristol) - which is a mid brown.

There have been doors put on the rear of the garage, and the access door to the garage from the house, so we figure a lock up payment is looming. The front door wasn't locked so we had a sneaky peak inside, and found that internal cavity doors (both ends of the butlers' pantry, the ensuite and the back passage) had been installed, presumably ready for plaster?

We also found that the shower bases (that go under the tiles) had been installed, as had the bath in the bathroom.

As you can see on the external pic, the brickies have made their return, and have completed to the left hand side of the front door, with the right hand side and the top of the portico still to be done.

Dare I say (well, it's only my estimate) we could be in in March? For school holidays please? Sooner would also be GREAT!
