Flooring is almost finished

Hi all
Another day at the coalface. We have almost finished installing the flooring which was very generously supplied by Sala Homes even though they technically could have got out of it. This is an indication of what this company has been like to deal with. Floors are beautiful and THANKYOU Scott and Damon. My cheap and nasty alternatives would not have done these lovely little houses justice. Not for one moment have I wished we hadn't used these kits. The plumber is impressed by the quality of the fittings supplied, particularly the very expensive toilets. We have had several lookers this last few days. Today it was Tony from Mackay Coloured Housing Coop. He is most interested in the style and spent a good half hour here today inspecting them. Hey, Mike, be ready now and remember my 500 bucks spotters fee.
There are a good few people talking about this project, particularly the locals which has surprised me a wee bit. I hope we pull it off well and the houses last forever.
I noticed this morning at about 9am upon opening the door to the hotter house of the two, that it was still very cool inside despite the two windows facing east receiving a fair dose of sunlight. Proof of the pudding, I guess.
I took an almost sober Russell (Trevor's brother) on a house tour Sunday morning but he had too much of a roaring hangover from a party Saturday night. He and Sandra grow plants and will be doing some work on the landscaping later on. He reminded me of Bash after a night at the Ellangowan, the way he slowly roared into life after sleeping in the bear cave in protest at Sandra's wanting to leave earlier than he. Funny to watch. But talk about stink!! the fumes were pretty strong.
Hey, Bash - channel Bob has been clear as a bell of late. He's my hero in waiting as I heard some funny noises last night so have obtained his phone number so I can call him to scare away the monsters if need be. He's been having a good run with the women this week or so. He's got a dancing partner, a drinking partner, an ex/on off partner, and I believe is currently hero to one of the office girls where he works. A busy man is Bob. He has sold one of his wrecks and the home renovations continue. Bob runs when he mows. Everything is speeded up and things can get pretty entertaining. Bash knows what I mean.
I meant to tell you too, of the Pilots' Gathering Jay organised back in February. We aren't always aware how difficult it becomes for these men to socialise with other ex Air Force personel as they get older. Jay figured out that she knew three men who had been in the Air Force at around the same time, and we plotted a way to get them together for a few hours. As you all no doubt know, my father in law Jack was a navigator in the airforce during the tail end of WW2. He is a man I admire a great deal and it was wonderful to see these three men, who didn't know each other, spend an afternoon together. We shared a delicious lunch from Weis backdoor and after we were full, left them to chat. It's Anzac Day, got me thinking about it. We will be taking Anzac Day off to attend the march here. The machinery at this place is another story entirely.
I'll be off now. Photos tomorrow as my camera batteries are flat again.
