Love, bubs and life on our little farm

Well the rain just hasn't stopped but the builders have stayed under cover and we are still progressing well.

The ensuite bathroom is waterproofed and the tiler is starting on Tuesday after the vanity has been installed. I will be so excited to see the ensuite come together!



The majority of the verandahs have been battened and the FC sheeting has gone up, including the massive carport ceiling.

We have the front door hung, the door in the connecting hallway and the sliding french doors that divide the study and living room.






Next up is all the carpentery - skirting boards and architraves etc and the timber edging on all the deck and verandah windows etc. The electrician has to install all the lights (which we have bought) and the plumber finish off the ensuite, the shower screen and mirror installed and the down pipes under ground to out to the water tanks. After that there is the concrete to be poured for the wrap around verandahs, the crimsafe screens to be installed and then its over to us for the tiling/carpets, timber treatment for the verandahs and final painting.

We can see the end - it is busy but achievable!

We have been painting "after hours" - all the internal walls are now primed, all the ceilings and cornices are completed with two coats of ceiling white, the high pitched roof of the deck is completed and half the verandah eaves and ceilings have been painted with one coat. So lots more to do but a fair bit done also. Its tiring work - the extension is 240m2 so bigger then some houses ie lots of walls and ceilings and therefore very tired arms and plenty of blisters.

We have bought the living area tiles - they are a slightly smaller creamier version of our current tile, as it is impossible to match our current tile size and colour, so we have bought a nice stone edging for where the two tiles meet (in the hallway). This leaves the carpet and the window dressings - both of which I am working on currently.
