Movement at the station..

Jason drove by the house today around lunchtime and he said there was a guy working on something upstairs (and whatever he was doing was really noisy) and that there were "plumbing type bits, like drains" out front downstairs. (Jasons words, not mine!).

So good to hear there was movement at the station today - not sure what or who the guy was but I don't care, the main thing is there was someone working away!

QA inspection was booked for today so hopefully that happened so they can get on with any fixes and the gyprock can finally get underway.

I made a decision on our flooring this week too, which is a huge weight off my mind!
Upstairs we have always been going to have carpet, and most of downstairs will be Bamboo flooring.
We had it in our old home, had it installed in 2008 and it held up to a baby and two dogs really well. One of those dogs is a 50kg Rottweiler so he put it to the test!

Here are the points that made Bamboo the winner in my eyes:

 - it has the highest hardness rating acheivable in terms of timber floors,

 - the planks are now wider than was available when we first purchased it

 - the range of colours is now much more vast than the original 2 colours available

 - it is grown speifically to be harvested for flooring and crops regrow at a really fast rate making it a much more sustainable option than traditional timber floors

 - its about $50 per square metre cheaper than the cheapest timber floor

The colour I am 99% sure I am going to go with is called Brown Sugar:
