Some lovely progress last week.
My honey has been up a ladder:

So we could have this!
And the teenager could have his “way cool” light
too:
Which goes from that, to this!
Definitely speccy!
And the wonderful Jeff the Joiner brought over our
bathroom vanity top – so gorgeous as always.
I can’t wait until the bathroom is finished – I’ve
got decorating plans!!
But before then, I am now onto Plan B for the bugs:
This is borax – a 'natural' bug killer, it is a salt
and dries them out – people say it works…I have been doing some more research...because
I needed to. We returned Kenny (the
hire dehumidifier) as he had been here 3+ weeks and we thought it was
time. We knew the bugs weren’t fully
gone, but we thought we would see where they were at, and some websites say the
life cycle can be up to 100 days L. Now I am not sure if it was a good idea to
return Kenny because we had a few days of population explosion – so we started
Plan B. There sure are plenty of dead
bodies again, but still too many still moving around too L. I will leave the borax out for another week
or so, by which time we will actually be finished!
Yes, finished-owner-building!! August 9th is the day – the day
our building permit expires.
It is exciting to be typing that J
– but we won’t be moving into our home straight away – for the bug reason and because
we will need to ‘finish’ off some other things anyway some painting (maybe we
will do it, and maybe we will wait); shelving in the cupboards, paving the
verandah, putting in the clothes line, getting the energy to actually move all
our furniture... So we will have some time
after we are ‘finished’ to empty out the house completely of the cardboard,
tools and bits that are cluttering it up and then, give it a good, sparkling
clean and really see what the bugs are doing (maybe by removing the cardboard, which
is a potential food source, we will be in a position to kill them off – maybe get
the humidity right down for another 3 week spell???, maybe Plan C??? – actually
not sure I have a plan C yet…)
But of course, we really want to be moving in!!!
