Well things have been a little quiet on the reporting front for a while. But we have making headway in that time! The entry/study and bathroom are practically finished, and we have transformed the lounge area. This is a very fine thing, and is making a) the living space far more pleasant, and b) the end feel like it is in sight. Here's the photos before and after. The first was taken the day the house settled, the second was taken today.
During the work in the lounge, we also moved the TV to a spare room. _This_ has been fabulous. The kids even spend less time watching it, as it isn't as comfy and close to the fireplace, which has to be a good thing.
Other than that, we have also fancied up the front yard a bit, which is something we have been thinking about for a while, but finally inspired by Morabbin's backyard room. We made a cute bit of paving that is going to be the centre of a rose garden, with a row of fruit trees behind it.
Better get back to it - it is actually a nice day up here. Yay!
We have continued to work on the new bathroom while I've been on holidays (back tomorrow, starting a new job, but that's another title).
After some thought, we worked out how to attached the corrorgated iron to the wall and attached the aluminium strip to that. I think it looks damn schexy!
This means I am now allowed to start thinking about the design for the kitchen - happy dance.
