The latest work.....

Dan has been working soooooo hard this week!!

Upstairs, looking into the kids computer area. Tim and Matt's rooms are on the left.

Upstairs, looking the other way into Jake's room. The bathrooms are to the left and the passage on the right leads to Ben's and Nick and Amber's rooms.

Nick and Amber on their balcony upstairs. Of course it will have a rail!! Both Nick and Amber's room and Jake's room have french doors out onto this balcony. I am standing in Jake's doorway to take the photo.

Jake's room, all painted! Notice the nice ceiling fans. We have one in every bedroom.

The formal lounge room downstairs which is meant to be for Darren and I to relax and watch TV in.

The kitchen area, looking into my "bag room" where the kids will dump all their bags and school stuff. Notice the "in" and "out" design. You can see the "U" shaped bulkhead on the ceiling, this mirrors the shape of the kitchen benches. The left hand wall is where the pantry, fridge and a kids bench area will be.

The front verandah downstairs. The balcony is on top of this upstairs.

The front entrance. The bricks have been cleaned (a guy comes and does it with acid) and the floorboards have been laid.

Things are moving along but it seems slow to those of us just watching! There are so many things being done that aren't immediately noticeable, like "no more gapping" everywhere, eave sheets, fiddly weatherboard bits in between windows etc. The plastering has slowed down. There's only about 3 days work left to do, sanding downstairs but the guys have gone back to their full time job and have to squeeze us in. Upstairs is almost done. The skirting boards and architraves are coming next week as is the carpet layer to measure up. We have chosen some lovely carpets. The bath is in downstairs so we need to get the rest of it done too. We will only have one bathroom finished when we move in. We will also not have a kitchen yet but it will be fine just to use the BBQ and gas burner like we do in the caravan!! We can use the laundry for dishes etc. I just want to move in already!!!
