THE PARCEL

 So, yesterday I finally told you what that parcel was.

A carport.  It came as a kitset from Bunnings.

And today, now that our driveway is finally done, the guys can put it together.

It's going to be cover for Stew's car.  Mine will eventually go back in the garage.

While the guys are doing the carport, I'm going to get some washing done, fold some washing and put some washing away. Cos that shit never sleeps.

I'm feeling like crap this morning.  My ribs are tender where I landed on the paint pails, and I've got two fingers and two toes that are damn sore too.

ABOVE:  One nail just broke, the other split up the middle and bent over as well.  That one is REALLY sore.

And me toes?  Just as sore.  Stew's going to the supermarket this morning... he's got Nurofen on the list.  That should stop me moaning!  lol

Not sure what else I/we shall get up to today.  I've got tinsel for our front roadside tree.  Christmas lights for the outside of the house.  And of course, all the inside decorations to get out, ready for me to get it all done next week.

10 am.

Stew and I have had a chance to take a really good, long look at the driveway.

And OMG I hate myself.  Because I am NOT HAPPY with it at all, and I so wanted this to go right.

And I'm gunna have to friggin well complain about a job AGAIN!

Why?

Well, when the boss man came three months ago to do the quote, he left saying "Your driveway is going to look a MILLION BUCKS once we have done it"!

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK of my 'Million Dollar' driveway:

ABOVE: Grooves in the asphalt.

ABOVE:  It's NOT dirt.  It does not wash off.

ABOVE:  This is how they left the entrance to my house... at the front door.  I have tar on my tiles and a horrible, jagged edge. 

ABOVE:  We already have holes!

ABOVE: The front of the garage.

ABOVE:  Ummm, what the hell is going on here?  And in many other places too... weird discolourations.

So, please tell me what you think of our new driveway?

Am I being too fussy?

Is it OK?

Would you call it a 'Professional' job?

Would you be happy paying $10,000 for that?

I'm so unhappy.  There are more photos of the job that I could show you, but I will save you from that.

ABOVE:  If I had been home when the Asphalt company arrived, there is NO BLOODY WAY they would have dumped that big pot on top of my hydrangea!  It won't survive that, and it is too late to lift it off now.  The damage is done.

ABOVE:  Steve arrived mid morning and him, Stew and Griffin are working on constructing the carport.

ABOVE: These two boys are hanging out in the dog pen.  

ABOVE:  It's a start on me Christmas decorations!  lol

ABOVE:  Griffin's hair.  Yeah.  Looks really tidy, till he lets it all go.

ABOVE:  The guys getting the first bits up...

ABOVE:  3.50 pm, and they are about ready to stop for the day.   The roof might not get put on till next weekend, as tomorrow we are moving Brylee.

And the guys need a break.

9.10 pm:  Well we've had a lovely evening... Steve and his family went home after winding down and having a swim.  Griffin went home too.

So, just Stew and I for dinner, so we had Chinese Takeaways.  Honey King Prawns... OMG so yum!

Looking forward to tomorrow, when a few things will be getting sorted out.  

Now though, relax time.  Then bedtime.

Catch ya tomorrow.
