Update!!! The Reno's begin!



Yeah Yeah - I know it has been a while..... and I am slack - but yet again I do have an excuse....



Look at what we are living in.....

Here is our 'new home' ...... Britteny *trailer trash* It is cosy with 3 of us in there... and it is challenging.... BUT it is keeping us motivate. We cant live like this forever so we keep up the work inside the house!













And then - there was just one......









going.......

going........








Gone............. the top pic here is of the last of the fireplace in our room - and the bottom is of what will be Corinne's. As you can see - there is a wall there - something we were told not to expect there to be!! So that is a bonus. And from about waist height up - the soot simply peels off the brick work - you can see that our wall is nice and clean. But there is a portion that we are not sure what to do with - as the bricks are stained with soot. Tomorrow - the kitchen fireplace is going!

We haven't had any major discoveries of treasures - apart from the left overs of what was burnt in the fireplace in the middle room (her rubbish yet again, I suspect). We have found another spot that the white ants have made a visit to.... and again didn't like the taste of our timber and ticked off! But now comes the fun of fixing the ceilings - plastering.... sanding ..... painting.....


It has been interesting - packing up our 'life' as we know it.... working out what we 'need' and what can be put into a box to store.. or giving to the Salvo's.. and attempting to live in a caravan! R has been so so good - packing up her toys or just being tolerant of the restraint of the caravan.... I cannot wait to see her face when she sees what we have planned for her new bedroom.





Oh and some garden pic's to finish up...







oh - and ain't she cute????? Dont forget her Ballet performance!!! December 14th!!!

Ring or email me if you want tickets - it should be a great night - I have been helping out with the costume workshops! And the costumes are awesome!
