Gold Coast Trip For AGM |
November 28, 2004 |
DAY ONE
When the announcement from Revetec that their AGM this year was going to be on Queenslands Gold Coast, we all thought how stupid! But after a day or two, Darren realised that this gave him the perfect opportunity for getting the KMs up on his car before the end of the FBT financial year!! After all, its only 1000km each way, its not like its on the other side of the country!
So on Thursday 25th November, 4:15pm, we left the office on our way to Surfers Paradise!

Scaffolding |
November 23, 2004 |
This past week has been a little slow on progress. I think they builders were waiting for a certificate for the scaffolding before they could use it. But by Thursday they were back at it. The brick work is now up past the bottom of the upstairs windwows, so is looking more complete everyday :)
I had a wander around inside yesterday, and its amazing how much smaller everything looks and feels once there are solid walls around you! Suddenly I'm thinking the house may not be big enough ;)
I am hoping that the brick work will complete this week, with the tiles going up next week. The builder will want to minimise the amount of time that they have the scaffolding up, so I expect to see them mving pretty quickly.

Summer in Sydney |
November 14, 2004 |
A quick trip to Sydney this weekend to check out the harbour and take some pics of the Opera House and the Bridge. The weather looks good, but it was blowing a real gale all afternoon!
Once I was done in Sydney, it was off to David and Rachels house warming party where I met some interesting characters.

Broken Bones, Broken Dreams... |
November 10, 2004 |
It has not been a very exciting week for me so far. On monday night I rolled my ankle again, I've lost count on how many times this has happened to my right ankle, but this time it was enough to reduce my normal enthusiastic running self into not much more than an ornament on the court. Not only that but it has kept me out of basketball, and an inter-office golf challenge this week too.
It seems to be responding well to treatment, but I think it will be another week or two before its back to its usual 75% sufficency level.
Also this week at work we've been doing performance reviews, and this is always a bit of a drag. I've almost finished mine now, just got a lot of typing to go. And ohhh, that Michael, am I going to make up some rubbish about him!!!
One good thing that is coming up though is next weeks road trip to The Gold Coast! Darren and I are taking the long drive up the coast to attend the Revetec AGM which is being held in their new Gold Coast headquarters. It's going to be a long drive up Thursday night, with a quick swim to refresh on Friday morning before hitting the meeting. We are then planning to stay friday night, and hit the casino to pay for the trip :) One down side is that we will be up there during Schoolies week ;)

More Bricks |
November 08, 2004 |
Even in the rain, the brickies keep on going. Today they managed to get the intricate work done around the front of the garage. So now its pretty much all bricked up to the level of the ground floor.

Bricks n mortar |
November 04, 2004 |
Good to see the brickies work just as quickly as the chippies. The bricks have started, and the house is now starting to look much more like something that I'll be able to live in.
The colour of the bricks is a little lighter than I had expected, but still, they look great :)
