Apart from the rain today, things have been slowly moving ahead. MrD heads into his proper work on Wednesdays, so technically it's his 'day off' lol
The drainage has been almost completed. It's quite interesting to see the little drawing with all the lines on it where there are pipes. The go all around the yard. Because it's a battle axe block, we need a drainage pit and a pump to push the water back up the driveway and onto the street.
To get that far, there were lots of trenches just like this one...
And remember the boys taking out the brick work last week? Now there is a big beautiful bi-fold door in it's place. It really is lovely.
The ensuite has been waterproofed and this lovely bath has been installed in the main bathroom. MrD was adamant he wanted spa jets again, so that's what he got.
And MrD is getting faster at putting holes in brick walls lol This hole is for the french doors that lead into the guest bedroom downstairs.
And while all this has been happening, I've done a small amount of painting, but the majority has been done by MrD's parents, who are seriously quick at painting. They do in a day what would probably take me about 3 weeks. They started on the top coat upstairs today, but I'll have pictures of that next week.
Once the painting has been done and the main bathroom waterproofed, the bathrooms will be tiled and the floors sanded and polished. Then that scary looking temporary railing at the top of the stairs will be replaced with a proper glass balustrade.
Then, and this is the exciting part, then I can start moving things over and finally move these boxes that are piling up along the walls in our current (very small!!) house :)
And before I head off to bed tonight, here is another reminder to enter in my
March giveaway (see
this post). The winner will be chosen on Friday, Aussie time, so hurry and enter :)
