WEEK 12 - LOCKED OUT

So it's Week 12 of the building Schedule and we're 75% complete in the progress of the house.... and we're locked out! Because of the reflection on the windows we didn't get too many pictures inside the house this time... But my peeping tom skills are improving!

These are pics of Glen trying to break in through the garage door. (The garage roller door - goes in today 21/06/2010.)







Look through our bedroom doors, into the en suite. You can see the cupboards have been installed, and the doors have been hung. They've also lacquered the wet areas with a blue goop. The tiler man should be there this week starting the tiles and we've been told that it's going to take 8 days to lay all the tiles etc.

The view of the kitchen through the window - sorry it's not a great pic- but the kitchens in.

Since i couldn't take many other pictures i took lots of pictures of Flowers before we went and picked up our RIDE ON MOWER!!!









OH and a picture of a spider. This spider currently resides outside our laundry door. We've watched him/her grow up from a baby spider and build it's web and now it's HUGE and very pretty... as long as it's stays outside.

Our Ride on Mower. A Rover Colt 5 circa 1981

This is the Maroochy River. The bloke we bought the mower off lives at the bottom of the mountain in the background. The mountain is called Mt. Ninderry




And now the fun begins. We got the mower home and decided to have a play in the backyard so nobody could see us while we looked stupid and had a play... i don't think either of us have laughed so hard in a long time. Glen had first play and drive around for a while before putting the blades down and actually mowing.



He's not playing with the blades, he's checking the accelerator and gears!

Blades down and away he goes.





Turning circles not great!



Then it was my turn. Nearly ran over the dog!

Then i started having fun!


We ended up mowing the whole yard in a little over 30 mins.. including our play time... then when we drove around the neighborhood the next day we were looking at other peoples lawns we could mow, including the park across the road!
We did have a few mishaps. I may have accidentally driven the mower into one of the stilts of the house... Lucky there's a bumper bar on the mower... and then not long after that Glen decided to try and mow down our front fence! All in all we had loads of fun and can't wait for the lawn to grow again so we can have another play!
