The new garage slab
The boys loved having a clean, flat surface to play on. Unfortunately it didn't stay this way for long - it is now covered in building materials (including the roof trusses).
Removing the old lino flooring in the kitchen. The boards underneath are in quite good condition.
Removing the old cupboard in the 3rd bedroom (which will become the guest ensuite). We salvaged some lovely old hooks from inside this wardrobe.
The stripped kitchen. The wall on the left will be removed and the new dining room extended out.
A lending hand (shoulder) from the father-in-law!
Water showering from the ceiling as Darren was draining the rain collected in the roof tarps. Gave the floorboards a good wash ...
The beginnings of the back deck. The verandah will wrap from the front to the back, down this side of the house.
Lovely big timber posts - they look quite sculptural at this stage.
All internal walls on the right hand side of the house have been removed!
When the house is complete, there will be a guest room, ensuite and pantry in this space to the left of the hallway.
The back deck from the kitchen.
The side verandah linking the front to the back. the window on the right will be replaced by cedar french doors.
Alfresco toilet anyone?

Wow. All this progress is SOOOOO inspiring. Your boys look like they are loving every minute. Amazing seeing the interior all opened up and those decks are cracking along. Your back deck is so HIGH - you will feel like a bird in the trees every time you are on it. melx
ReplyDeleteHi Mel, yes it is exciting to finally see some real progress. The boys are in their element, although my youngest loses interest after an hour of being on site, I don't think he truly understands we will eventually live in this house! The deck is super high, we have started calling it "the treehouse"! I must visit your blog soon, I've barely had a chance to catch up on my own life let alone what's happening on my favorite blogs! x Mel
