Camp David (as Brunnel likes to call our current all-in-together dormitory sleeping arrangements) is, shall we say, testing my resolve tonight.
Club Tropicana it is not.
The extreme natural ventilation (there is no front on the house at all), aided and abetted by the boarded up holes where windows used to be, and the sudden onslaught of antartic ice outside is a little bone chilling.
The tarpaulins don't appear to be thermally lined.
My poor builders were outside this morning in torrential rain and gale force winds, trying to fix the gas heating for me.
Brunnel & the girls have de-camped to warmer and less drafty climes in Hawkes Bay.
I am shivering and toughing it out!
And going to bed with two hotties and ten blankets.

P.S no, NOT that kind of hottie!!!

That was funny, don't mean to have a laugh at your expense but it takes me back to when we were building our house in two stages, and the flapping tarp kept me awake. Plus the possum's tippy tapping down the hallway!
ReplyDeleteGreat times....

Oh you poor thing!! I hope you keep warm and dry and free of wild beasts!!
ReplyDeleteSorry you're roughing it out on your own with nothing but two rubber hotties ;-) Maybe you should trade them in!!! Don't sit in a draught dearie - as my Nana used to say. You do crack me up Amanda. COURAGE - it'll all be worth the hard wait!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I was wondering if your poor builders had failed at fixing up the heating system and decided to settle on another option.
ReplyDeleteGood idea for the family to come to Hawke's Bay - it's a beautiful Autumn day here : ) Lovin those cushions!
ReplyDeleteOh your "p.s" made me laugh! I hope the weather settles down soon - Wellington weather and tarp covered houses are not a happy mix.
ReplyDeleteFabulous image! Hope you get your heat fixed soon. Keep warm, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteThis too shall pass mate & then you'll have the MOST GORGEOUS HOUSE IN WELLINGTON!!
