Where Do I Start?

Tuesday 16th April - Got message to say half the house was on its way so Stasia and I go racing off to Ashby and managed to actually come up behind the truck and Stasia was happily snapping away so excited.
OK so its not the prettiest house in the world - but you need to use your imagination!! Honestly this makes it look pretty bad. Anyway this is the bathroom, Stasia's bedroom and the spare room!


OK so truck gets to my road and reverses in
and disaster number 1 strikes! - The quarry delivered the shale for the driveway but didnt even spread it, so quick phone call to quarry and 15 minutes later the loader comes driving in and pushes gravel around.
THE GROUND IS SO SOFT!!! :C all the rain has made it terrible!  They, (2 quarry people and about 6 house removal guys) decide more rock is needed so 2 more trucks of bigger rock are called for.
1 1/.2 hours later I get called back to work so leave them all to work it out.

(snow chains to try and beat the mud!)

Stopped on way home to find half house perched on timber blocks on side road so rang house guys to be told it was a disaster! Truck got bogged reversing house in and then loader got bogged trying to pull truck out! So they had taken it upon themselves to organise an excavator to dig up all the freshly laid rock and dig up top layer of soil/mud and lay road properly.
I went to bed with a tear in my eye as it was raining yet again and all I could think about was the extra $$$$$ needed that I dont have.

Wednesday 17th April - Go to work early in morning and see excavator hard at work. Rang quarry and was told more rock was needed again! Oh well it needs to be done!
Second half arrived today and made it to the house pad OMG something went right! Had friends arrive from Sydney so to dark to try and see anything so will stop in morning!
