Tom and Mary have been building a house 1) for two years. They have
been dreaming of finishing it 2) since last summer but they have been
having problems 3) for a few months because of the weather. In fact, it
has been raining and snowing 4) since October so they haven't been able to
put the roof on yet. This weekend they are trying to put in the
windows. They have only been working 5) since 8 o'clock but they feel like
they've been doing it 6) for hours because it is very difficult. They
have been saving up 7) for a long time but they haven't been able to
hire any workmen yet. Tom has been looking for an evening job 8) for a
week and Mary has been working overtime 9) since Christmas, so they will
have enough money soon. They haven't been going out 10) since they started
saving - but when the house is finished they are going to have a big
party to celebrate.
