Reno - nearly finished - I hope.

Things have been on the go for awhile now with this reno thing we are doing - no joking, this will be the absolute last one!!!! Still waiting for the plumber, not impressed with the electrician in the long run either, but that's still to be sorted!!! Good side, great young landscaping guys, originated from Bowral, went to Chevaliar College opposite Mum's cottage there. They sort've tolerated my whims, camelia sasanqua's and magnolia port wine hedges with sandstone pavers - in the damn tropics. These plants do work in the area, so here's hoping mine do as well!!! Fortunately we do have a water tank at the side of the house!!!. The new front door and bi folds are done and painted - oh goodness that painter!!! The window shutters and venetians are installed, with the exception of a couple that have been lost (not complete, no pay yet)!!!. The kitchen gets ripped out tomorrow, so another exciting day, pest man sprayed in and out today, and Frank and his new mate Pete have a couple of jobs to do at the end of the week, plus a few other things are waiting. Carpets soon, and then eventually the furniture will attack us from the south. Anyway, nearly over I think and hope. Our brick camphouse should end up as a small cottage sooooon.! In the meantime the weather has been absolutely superb, certainly no complaints there, though I am sure the tropical variations will hit soon.
