Renovating

A year ago I bought the property next door - about 4 hectares for the cows and a huge shed. The land also had a tiny house which was 7 metres square (plus a verandah). This is the view of the shed from the house.

Since June we have been renovating the house on weekends. And now that it is nearly Christmas, we have almost finished. Just carpet for the floor and blinds for the windows and we are done.

Here is Neil putting the last of the paint on the bathroom wall.

Now, he may be the builder but Kerry, the tenant and I have been the slaves. First we had to build a big room across the back of the house - bricklaying, building the frame plus all of the walls and the ceiling and then of course the painting. At least Kerry and I had fun choosing the colour scheme. We used the same border tile in the kitchen and bathroom - a white dimpled tile with sea critters.

And finally the kitchen was finished......

And then the bathroom/laundry.

Finally, a New Bathroom & Laundry.

The old bathroom is now an alcove between the lounge room and the bedrooms.

The original house plan looked like this:

but it now looks like this:

The pink bits are sliding doors and the blue bits are windows.
