During the day Mohanned took my car to the alarm system place and got it all kitted out with a central locking system (which had been missing since I bought the car) and alarm system...a really cool one with a range of 1km!! Plus it tells me where somebody is trying to break in or if the car was just hit. Exciting stuff.
Just after that I got a phone call that my container was on the way to my house!!!! 6 months later, finally!!! perfect timing.
So I rushed back in time to see the huge container drive down the road towards me and make it to the end of the dirt track...but not to the front of the house.
Unloading it was rather too busy to take photos, as I stood at the front monitoring the parcels and directing them to where they should go, and Matthew checked they weren't throwing fragile items around or walking off with anything. 9 men on the job meant that all that stuff was offloaded in just an hour...including 3 pianos!!
So I have that to look forward to when I get home...we unpacked a lot of kitchen items before leaving for London, but everything else is still in boxes.
As for the house, well the pergola got put up on Friday 27th...in one day! (after 5months of waiting...anyway). Here are pics of the work as it progressed...
Apart from that, Andre came by as I asked him to check out my stairs to the roof (they looked rusty to me but he jumped up and down on them and are apparently fine) and he checked out the pool tiling and declared it needed re-doing completely as it would leak. And the terrace was badly laid. Well mate, if you'd come round a month ago when I started whingeing about it, it might have been easier to fix!
Anyway, I am intrigued to see what will have happened in my absence...(expectation: nothing)
That's it for now!
