WOW! So much progress. Back stairs were removed, rusty stringers jackhammered out of concrete and treads gone! New shiny stringers up and treads oiled and in place (just waiting on a guard rail).
Downstairs corrugated fibreglass replaced with fibro.
Kitchen floors have been totally replaced, pantry walls and ceiling replaced, old rotten yucky wood panelling replaced with fibro and all the tongue and groove now visible in the kitchen. New kitchen bench arrived and installed, Thanks Kel. Just need to gap and paint and we are in business oh and buy a new oven of course. (i've attached a 'before' pic so you can see the difference)
Hay fever inducing, ebola festering air conditioner in our main bedroom and window removed, awaiting new windows to install, hopefully tomorrow. Main bedroom cleaned - YAY! and half gapped. Lounge room/s painted (looks amaze balls) and half floor sanded and oiled. (again added a couple of before shots)
Miss R's room mostly gapped, floors sanded and oiled. Mst J's room painted 1st coat.
Oh and electricians have finished Double YAY! We have lights, fans, power points and smoke detectors. WOOHOO! We are finally seeing some progress and its getting closer to being habitable which is exciting for us all. Its surprising really considering hubby who has never done a trade or building of any sort before, is studying law is our main builder (doing a mighty fine job too i must say), our only builder guru and advisor of all things 'hard' wood is an 83-and-holding-gentleman, our painter and all 'inside'jobs advisor is a 6 month pregnant daughter of a painter, our two labourers (i.e. dad and uncle) are in their 60s and i'm sure mainly helping us so we will vacate their home and open up the bar area downstairs of our money pit, and master of all things clean is my mumma bear. We may be a rag tag team but boy do we all work hard and i will forever be in their debt (as well as to the bank ;P )
