Our Anzac



At 92, he still gets along the route for the march, and shakes just about every person's hand.

Progress in Inches

Finally the ground floor rendering is done- now we just have to wait 3 more weeks before it can be painted. Inside all we have to go is some patching, painting (by Andrew), wardrobes & shower screens. The carpet is ordered to be laid on 18th May. So close....

Who likes Rugby?


The young boy who scored 4 'tries'!!! It is so well set up for them to learn and to just have fun. The state of his uniform after 2 games on muddy fields is another matter.

Getting closer





It seems we are getting closer every day, but progress is slowing the closer we get.

The bathrooms upstairs just need sanding, paint & shower screens. The bedrooms just need sanding, painting, wardrobes, carpet & window coverings. Downstairs needs window edges finished then rendering. Lets not talk about all the painting Andrew has to do, it makes him scared!

Autumn Arrival

What a lovely surprise in our front yard.

Tiles on the inside





It's amazing how much nicer a bathroom looks with tiles instead of the green waterproofing. Now we just need the fittings to go in next week. Fingers crossed there are no issues!

The outside

As of last week we have colorbond on the ground floor roof. Much nicer than the tiles. Now we just have to have the windows replaced & the ground floor rendered for the outside to be done. That would have been achieved more quickly if the window supplier had not incorrectly entered the measurements into the computer. They have to take back nine useless windows....
Andrew is also happy that they have taken the surplus supplies away and let his grass breathe again (well it used to be grass anyway).
