Is That the Sun?!!!

I was too depressed to write this post last week... another week of relentless rain & red mud!

Progress has still been great as the builders have been working through the weather- but the mud is everywhere!! Nothing you can do about it- just a big clean up soon...


 The deck is down...
  and this is how we spent a beautiful sunny Sunday... painting rafters & frame under the verandah before the roof goes on... (note to self- this is the last reno!)




The forecast is awesome for the next while- so lets hope we can dry out and get clean!

A Confession (& lots to catch up on Part 5)

As a professional photographer I should, at all times, have my camera with me... but I have to confess that renovating may be scrambling my brain.
I've been washing walls, sanding and painting (well not just me...;)) and on the last 2 occasions forgot to bring it with me.
Luckily the trusty iPhone has been there and yesterday was a momentous occasion! The frame is up!!!
SO exciting now to stand in the rooms and actually feel how it will be!

Lots to catch up on! Part 1

Forgive me for I have sinned, it's been 3 weeks since my last blog!
There's been a bit of sunshine, a lot of rain- much red mud, but finally visual progress!

So bringing everyone up to date we have...

Earthwork and plumbing...

found a bit of rock...


 Removed the front path and part of the hedge, replaced some bearers
 A clear site

 Rest of the hedge gone- new fence posts in!
 & just who thought it was a good idea for the loo to go in the front yard!!
