Day 55. Getting dressed up

Much has happened since the last post:

• floor boards laid out to acclimatise for two weeks, then relaid and nailed down.

• cabinetry added in kitchen, main bathroom, second bathroom and laundry. All except the laundry cupboards are new. The laundry cupboards were the old kitchen cupboard with new doors. The solid wood doors are added to the evergrowing pile of unwanted goods.

• tried selling some of these goods on ebay - its so simple that I somehow managed to stuff it up, so we still have 2 waterheaters, an oven and rangehood, ceiling fan and light, and now ktichen cupbaord doors, solid wood, baltic pine finish...

• tiles are up, they look amazing.

• Oh, and here is our solar hot water cells on the roof. They are bumpy to catch more light on dull days - better efficiency, better return

Still to come:

• Study shelving (should have been today) at end of kitchen
• shower screen
• electricals
• kitchen doors on hanging cupboards, will be metal frames with frosted glass
• rangehood, will be NO NOISE because it is designed to have the motor in the roof
• bits and pieces for the laundry still
• lots of plumbing
• lots of electricals
• AND
• decking and pergola
• new shed and carport, which requires pulling down the old. This is Russells job!!!

We are now starting to shift our lives. Each trip to the house s accompanied by parts of us that stay there. I need to paint the new cupboard and shelving areas so we can store everyting. Being without a shed for a couple of months will mean that our shed stuff will have to be house stuff for a short time. At the moment the shed is Kierans room.

So that is it so far. Lots more to come in two weeks. Somehow I dont think we will be alone for the first couple of weeks. Moving in day is two weeks away.
