Black Butt Timber Flooring

The timber floors of our new apartment

 We finally received word from the insurance company today that they have selected a builder, approved the $50,000 job of replacing the floors and fixing up the mess left behind by the drying company. I'm so eager to give them the keys, after they start we have an 8 week wait. 8 weeks from today is December 14th. I really would like to keep this problem contained to 2017. It would be nice to start 2018 in our new apartment. 

I'm so tired and anxious. My car broke down today, so let's add that to the heap. I'm still not sleeping very well. I think the people 'buying' our house are having us on. I don't think they actually intend to buy the place. After three weeks of demands, *we need a plumber,* *we need a tiler*, *we want to put a hole in the ceiling*, *fix the garden*, *replace the taps*, *paint the garage*. 

I'm getting the feeling that it is resulting in naught. Which means we need to start again with open homes. After all the problems with my health, I always had it in my mind that at least we were done with the house. My kind hearted husband granted them a week extension after I told him not to, he is way too nice for his own good. It should have been over with today. 

So let's see what I'll be saying in a week. 

Hopefully at the very least my car will be fixed.
