Weekend gardening…

Here’s a few photos of some of the gardens we sorted this weekend. Man, how ‘Grandad’ are my edges!

This is Sarah’s garden (she designed it). We just through the bark on to finish it off… Look brilliant!

And next week? Repair the lawns!

Loving our new lounge…

This is with all the lights on…

And just a few mood lights…

The entrance deck is done!

Just need the deck lights, fern garden up each side and it’ll be good to go. I needed a flagstone (Shist rock) for an initial step.

I did a contra with the stonemason… Two metre wide flat stones for two bottles of Bourbon. So I had to pop to the liquor shop for a few bottles. Typical dodgy country deals eh. Will look great though!

Some house updates…

Finally the shist wall is going up! It’ll lighten as it dries. Should be all completed in the next few days…

The kitchen (with tweaks) is going back in and looks good. We get the new bench top in the next few days…

House rebuild updates…

Here’s a few updates from the rebuild…

The builders are 98% done on the house, all internal/external doors and windows are in, and the tilers went hard last few days and got all the tiles done (grout tomorrow).

Next week belongs to the painters who will go hard all week. The following Monday is the stonemason as well as plumber, sparky and general fitout.

The painters will be using a ‘blonding’ solution (whitening) the walls rather than polyurathane so that’ll lighten it all up even more.

At this stage we’re aiming to move in on the 15th April and the office moves back on the 18th.

We’re all really looking forward to getting back into our home. The garage has been great but we’re all craving space now and with a newborn, it can get a little noisy with screaming etc… Will be great getting home again.

Some photos…

Lounge showing where fire wall will go (on left) and the small gib wall on right for the TV.

Taking all the middle section out not only saved money but make it more modern as well 😉
