Last Photos of an Empty House


We're four days away from the move and I officially can't wait. We're meeting with our builder tomorrow night to go over the last details.

While Iain watched cricket I drove over to the house to check it out. I flicked all of the light switches on and off, turned on every faucet, ran the showers, opened and closed the kitchen drawers. I turned on the ceiling fan upstairs, opened some of the windows (with SCREENS! A rarity in NZ!!), and sat on the carpet. It felt great.

As expected (and warned by friends who've undergone renovations), there's stuff we did wrong. But thankfully nothing is holy-crap-this-looks-like-sh*t standout wrong -- it's all in the details. There's stuff like the positioning of a wall socket... or an outside light. But so far, the important stuff is all there.

The next pictures will be of a completed house!

That kitchen is amazing! Wish mine looked like that!
