The house has been at the lock-up stage for a couple of weeks now. Lock-up means that the builder blocks all the entry ways and you can't get in without a key. Two doors have been locked up, but all you have to do to get inside is go down the side and get in through the court-yard!
Most of the rendering has been done. The only bits yet to be finished are the garage and court-yard wall along the neighbour's fence and the fence at the porch.
Last week the ceilings downstairs were started everywhere except where the bulkheads will go. I can't see upstairs as there is no way to get up there, but what I could see by looking up from the court-yard and through the windows to the TV room indicated that they haven't started the ceilings upstairs yet, but that doesn't mean they haven't started the other rooms.
The solar panels were installed a week ago and the power company still hasn't accepted my application for the feed-in tarrif yet. They claimed I hadn't put the meter number on my form, but it was there. They are probably trying to slow the process because after 30 June the rules change to their advantage!
The whole process is at the stage now where one can't see what's happening because it's all the inside stuff. This is when it seems a really long time to finish it.
