The vastu fence - WHAT A SAGA! In fact, what an on-going saga ... to this day! The vastu fence provides a boundary for the house and has very specific measurements. We first contacted a fencing guy in October 2011 and now we are moving towards the end of April 2012! The original fencing guy, Chris, subcontracted the job out to another guy, Ray. With relentless pestering encouragment, Ray got the corner posts and most of the others in before the house inauguration but didn't seem to be able to get much further than that. Despite millions of promises to get the job done, Ray eventually dropped the job and Chris took over, having to put the woven wire on twice to get it right. Yipes! And only today, after ordering the gates weeks and weeks ago, we have just found out that the gate-manufacturer's computer, with all of her orders and client contact details, was attacked by aliens who ate all of her business information. Therefore, I have once again reordered the gates, only more than six months after starting to build the vastu fence!
On another note, if you look carefully at the first and last photos on this blog entry, you will see the long-awaited roof of the verandah. It had been my dream to have a little verandah bullnose on three sides. At the last minute, the builder told us this was not possible, and would we please accept one with a bullnose on one side only. And so, we disappointing let go of the three-sided bullnose, not realising that the builder wasn't even going to put sides on the it. But more about that later too...
