What do you do when the shower taps don't include the little rubber gaskets to fit the to the pipes? Break out the razor blades and the old car innertube! Custom fit every time.

In the final rush to get things done before we move in in two days, the ceiling is going up in the master bedroom.

The frame for the large double roller door went up yesterday, but as the masons started to brick in the gap between the top and the roof, the section of free-span frame started to sag a little. It was only 1.5 cm over the whole distance of 450cm but it effected the angle of the tracks for the roller-doors. So we propped up the frame with branches until it was level, and now this morning, Joseph and I are working on some braces to connect the frame to the rafters, to help with the load of the bricks.

We have a 3 phase instant hot water system for the house installed, but are waiting for the 3 phase lines to be brought up through our village. While we wait we want to be able to have hot showers, so we found this little shower head that heats the water as it passes through. We remain a little skeptical but, with a dedicated circuit breaker, our french-speaking electrician assures us that the 'electric douche' will be perfectly safe.

With the countdown to move-in at only 5 days, we finally have all four door frames up in the living area. The masons are cementing and bricking them in at a furious rate.

This little alcove that is being built into the column that holds the light switches for the living area and porches. It is just inside the front door and so it the first place that you would realise that the power is out... Again. Thus the perfect place to put a flashlight.

We had a minor setback when mounting the frame for the rolling door at the entrance of the house. This morning, after the cement had set over night we ran a test with the door. I turns out that the middle column had been set 2cm off center and the door rubbed. An easy fix but good thing we checked before the frame was bricked in place!
