Okay that may not sound very exciting, but it is, I promise you
My OH and I bought a plot of land in February 2007.
Got planning permission for a self build, knocked down the old dwelling and in November 2007 dug the footings for the new house.
Progress was good, and we moved heaven and earth to be 'in' for Christmas 08, but it wasn't to be, we were missing two minor details - carpet and a staircase!
Finally on Friday morning the stairs arrived, and by this evening we had installed them (minus the bannisters), but to have a proper staircase not just a borrowed ladder is such a huge leap forward for us. It marks the end of the dirty/dusty work - now we can start cleaning everything, do the glosswork, fit the carpet and move in!
It's soooo exciting
