Decisions have been made.

 Since the last post we've been making final decisions regarding the kitchen,  windows,  bathroom tiles and outdoor lighting.

Once we were happy, we accepted the quotes and once deposits are paid,  work can begin.

It will  be a few weeks before the kitchen and windows are ready for installation,  in the meantime there's plenty to do to get things to a stage where that can happen.

Joe pulled down ceilings, wall boards and took out old insulation in my craft space.

The kitchen is being made by Get it Made kitchens in Te Awamutu

The kitchen appliances are different to what's shown in the pictures












They are also making a cabinet for underneath the TV. Consisting of 2 cupboards with a shelf and two drawers at both ends.



I think that's probably enough to be going on with today.  I'll do a craft and other stuff post tomorrow.  

Enjoy your weekend

A this and that kinda post

 Here it is, started January 2024, the hexie quilt flimsy is done

13 rows of flowers, every other row has 12 flowers, the alternate rows have 11 flowers plus 2 half flowers, the mathematicians among might want to add that lot up 😉 

In between are neutrals, 3 different light fabrics.

All hand sewn!

So that's it for now, it needs batting and backing then I'll hand quilt around the flowers. 

Lot's to do still, a job for when I'm in my new craft space.


Henry has been enjoying the pool, February has had very hot days, in the high 20s, even the low 30s




The plumbers are done pre plumbing, they'll be back later in the process
Vent in for the cooker hood and copper pipe for the gas supply to oven

Pipe work for the vanity taps and waste in the main bathroom 

Pipe work for the shower mixer tap

Poor photo,  shower supply

Looking through the floor at the drainage pipes

WC channel dug for waste and pipe work for taps and waste for toilet done 


Michael, Tash and the kiddies went off for a long weekend camping trip, I wonder how that's going?



Joe's been up the top house today, pulling my craft room apart,  ceiling down, most of the walls off, a dirty, dusty, rat poo filled job




That's it for today, catch ya later

And it's February already

 Our electrician has done what he can for now, he'll be back at a later date. He's doing an excellent job, I have to say that seeing all those wires everywhere, it amazes me hiw he knows what everything is for.

The plumbers were in today doing their thing. I think they're back again tomorrow, they too will be back at a later date.

We're getting quotes coming in, need a Lotto win 😮 

This evening we went to check out the work so far 

A short video of a walk
