Day 150 - February 24th (Day 6)

Well we picked up the letterbox yesterday, and got it installed the same day. Funny thing was as I was about to add it into the hole I dug for the concrete, the postie arrive with our first letter!  At least it wasn't a bill! :->.

We went out yesterday and picked up all the items for the fence we are adding down the side of the home. We chose a Stratco fence, as I have had one of these before and they were simple to put it, look good and held up well against the weather.

We spent this morning going to the hardware store to buy some sleepers to add under the fence. Got some infor from one of the fencers from Stratco as well today. Got some info from one of the pros at Stratco about how to add the sleepers under the fence. He suggests leaving a gap between the fence and the sleeper, so there is no where for it to rust. I haven't got any pics of the fence just yet. Will do that tomorrow.

Also the neighbours on our right started their build today. They have dug the area for the foundation. They are going to add some sleepers into the ground and we are going to add the fence above this. Will add some images tomorrow.

The Painter came around this afternoon to paint the walls that needed fixing. We didn't see him again this afternoon however as promised? We did try to phone him, but there was no answer.

The site supervisor came around as well. He replaced the door handle as the screw on part ? was faulty. All looks good now. Only things they have left to fix are some painting, a door stop and a door hinge that is loose.

I haven't heard from Bluescope yet about our rainwater tank. When they switched it on the other day, it started leaking profusely so we had to switch the pump off....  It's been a week now, and no phone call from them.... ?
