Now we're getting somewhere... part 1

The last few weeks have felt a little like work on the house wasn't really going anywhere (ie having to describe exactly what the finished product would look like to everyone who came to visit because NOTHING even vaguely resembled what it would look like). There was also a minor hiccup today with some of the kitchen cupboards (a trip to IKEA was in order to pick up two missing screws and another trip will be in order tomorrow to take back a cupboard that we discovered today was cracked) but otherwise today there was a small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

The floors in the bedrooms were the first things to start to take shape.


This is the floor in Ali's room just after sanding...



The floor in the boy's room after the first coat.

... and later today some posts appeared out the kitchen window in readiness for some slats to make a fence down the side (pavers still need to be cleaned and replaced but the drainage is in and the posts are ready to go).



There was also some kitchen area prep done and the cupboards put together and the air con went in today too. More business tomorrow: another trip to IKEA, hopefully a kitchen more or less completed, sanding doors and architraves and perhaps even some gardening.....

Stay tuned!
