Allsorts today

Joe went to work this morning to pick up the new kitchen appliances that were stored temporarily at his workplace. He needed the big work truck to transport them and also the new sofa bed we bought from Freedom furniture a few weeks ago.

The Falcon Range oven

Dishwasher 

Fridge freezer

The range cooker and fridge weighed a bloody ton, Michael, his work buddy and Joe did well to move them,  pretty sure they'll not want to do that again anytime soon

The sofa bed also weighed a ton and nearly broke them!! That is now in Threadquarters.

Also in Threadquarters ...

Stuff needed for the wee kitchen

Benchtop

Cupboard side panels,  colour is Kaleo from Kaboodle, Bunnings.

After we took the big truck back to Joe's work, we had lunch at the Wayward kitchen. It was rather yum 

When we came home we went straight to the top house to see the kitchen in Threadquarters. Looks bloody good. The sink has yet to go in and the handles too.

Meanwhile, outside there's a big pile of timber for the deck framing.and kwila decking boards.

If any of you have noticed the black colour on the exterior walls and wondered why we'd done that, well, it's the background for the kwila battens.

Catch ya later

Wait...there's more!

 A few days ago our garden looked like this!

Trenches were dug to lay drainage to the water tanks. The old spouting/guttering still has to be removed from the house for the new spouting that's being put up next week.

Joe needs to paint the boards before that can happen, we're waiting for dry weather. I've been listening to the rain lately and feeling gutted it's not filling the tanks!!

The garden now looks like this..

A little bit of rain in the trench!!!

Michael has laid concrete pads for the heat pump/air con units

He's put shelving in my 'only' cupboard

The wallpaper in the bedroomlooks so good, 

here's a close up

The tiler was back today grouting the tiles.

Still to do in there

Silicone 

Put up shower screen

We took a drive to Cambridge this afternoon to pick up this chair that's going in Threadquarters. I've been after one for ages.

And lastly for today, the lemon tree.

They should be ready for when we move in, 

when I can enjoy a very large gin and tonic

Talking of G&Ts, I've just been handed one. 

Ta ta for now

Wallpaper and tiles

The paper hanger was here today, the only room to be wallpapered is our bedroom.

And we have a wardrobe! 

No shelving yet though

The tiler has been here this week, popping in at the beginning waterproofing the walls and floor, 3 coats of that.

Tiles are done, he'll be back tomorrow to do the grouting

It's all coming together beautifully

More soon
