It's a sign! I'm telling you, it's a sign!

The new sign that our Coral sales guy has had put up on our block today. I LOVE IT!



The sign from across the road.

Today we saw a sign that our house will be started soon. A great big sign. Six foot in fact. A lovely lad came out and put up Coral's advertising sign this afternoon. So, now it really seems REAL. It's actually funny that he came out today as I had been talking to Matt on the way to the block this morning about how it doesn't really feel real that we are building yet. We go to the block every weekend and we "play" but nothing is really happening there. Now that we have a sign up it seems that things will be happening soon. Although it's taken over a year to get to this point, it kinda seems quick now. I'm sure that will change when the house is being built but at this stage it feels like things are progressing nice and quickly.



Milly and I relaxing before lunch.



The great big fires that died down after about half an hour of burning and became small fires. They look good here though.

Our focus for today was burning the piles we made yesterday. A nice easy day for us after all of the timber carrying we did yesterday. I spent some of the morning on the wipper snipper until it broke. Now, just for the record, I did not break it, despite the fact that this problem has never happened before in the three or so years that we have had it. As I was ridding our block of long grass, one of the screws on the muffler loosened itself and fell out. I searched high and low for it but couldn't find it anywhere. It was frustrating really as I'd wanted to get way more done than I actually achieved. Needless to say, the rest of the day was much more relaxing.

Tomorrow I meet with the cabinet maker which will be very exciting and next weekend Matt has booked a dingo to clear the fence lines. I think I'll be on the wipper snipper again to try and get rid of as much of the grass around the place as I can before we bring the ride on over. Don't really want to ride the ride on around the block until I know what's underfoot.
