Progress Update

Hey All,

Just a few more photos of the building site. It's getting there slowly. The floors are in everywhere except for the guestroom. Here is part of the top floor:


This is the first floor living area:


The painter/plasterer still has a heap to do and the guestroom is coming along fine. I have been promised that it will be finished for the 23rd of October when Karl comes to visit us - yahoo !! Yes you read correctly - my bro Karl will be here at the same time as Mum and Dad - wow - last time that happened was Xmas 2005 in NZ. This is how your room is looking at the moment Karl.


The rest of the traditional windows are coming tomorrow and it will take a few days before they are in properly. We chose these windows to suit the style of the outside of our house which was built in 1842 - it's a bit old you see. So putting modern windows in would have completely killed the look of the place. It's going to be a love/hate relationship with these babies from day one though unfortunately. They look fantastic but each window has 24 panes of glass - understand what I am saying ?


The kitchen is finished and it's green - not just normal green but GREEN - just something funky for the next 3 or 4 years until we rip it out and chuck it away and turn the kitchen into a seperate bathroom for Charly and the real kitchen moves upstairs. We basically have given it an el-cheapo makeover to make it look a bit cleaner and brighter.


Dad is helping lots as you can see and Charly is just hanging around in her tutu !!



That's all for now folks. Lara, Mike & Charly xxxooo
