Front Room Progress

Quick progress update:

So first up, all the old flooring and rotten beams came up leaving a big hole.

Then new termite protected beams in.

The old glass out and new wall started, my first go at brickwork.

The wall went up slowly with a new window and door spot left.


All the way up to the ceiling lintels and reo welded in (I'm getting good at welding)


And front wall up, new electrics done and new stud wall for the bedroom started!

Our very own piece of the Great Australian Dream.

We signed the contracts today and are moving to Carlingford in about 6 weeks!! Cant wait! It's a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom free standing house with an inground pool and...a backyard!!! hurrah!

so excited to finally get my Saturdays back and to be able to play outside with Sam without having to go to a park!
