The Big Build: Don't be alarmed!

The grass is not looking so good!

Stephen and Nicola spent some of Saturday this weekend up the site sorting out the grass and patching it. We also had a visit from our neighbour opposite who saw Stephen out the front and wanted to have a look around. He was a nice gentleman who informed us that he had already met Sabrina.

Whilst on our little day out to our new house we also set off the alarm. Having never had an alarm before this was a steep a learning curve. We have also found out that you cannot get a mobile phone signal in the electrics cupboard inside the house. As while on the phone to Mark to sort the alarm problem Nicolas phone kept cutting out. With the instructions coming over the phone fast Nicola failed to keep up.

So this resulted in a call out to the electrician (Uncle Robin) who sorted the problem swiftly on his arrival. Something to do with trip switches, fuses and the alarm battery apparently.
Anyhow the neighbours never came running to our aid, even if before this incident they were happy to nose around the house.

Inside things have moved on loads since the last set of pictures.

Firstly Sabrina’s place she has chosen some glass cabinets in her kitchen to display the china Nan has given her.

She has chosen blue for the hallway which looks light and airy. I quite like it.

Nicola has not chosen glass cabinets in her kitchen as everybody who knows Nicola, will know her cupboards are usually crammed full of rubbish and she organises things in her own messy way. A good choice for somebody who is very organised in a scatty 'I’ll find that later' fashion.

Nicolas lovely pink living room wall as she has chosen pastel colours throughout the house the kitchen will be apple white. This picture also frames the pastel blue shed well I think.
