View out the new Kitchen Window

Finally the clouds have broken and sun shines through to dry out the paddocks and site.
Lots of progress and now is a logistic dance as the painters and the gib stopper work around the sparky and kitchen install guys.

Restored Haberdashery counter goes in (4.5m long!!)

Andrew putting in the new kitchen goes in.

Looking from the Driveway to the front door

Looking into the sliding doors that lead out onto the Garden

Out of the open doors onto the deck on a sunny day

The boys hard at it

Battens go up and decks get laid

Counting down the days 3 weeks to go

 

We thought we might keep the Beige colour of the battens....mmmmmm maybe not

Building Decks in the Rain. Are they Mad!

The exterior of the house is pretty much finished, the boys started on the decks

 

We have reused the old exterior Weatherboard as interior lining in the hallway. 

The final amount of gibstopping occurs before they start to paint in the nook.

The exterior decks start, with all the rain and snow. who would want to be a builder in winter!

The builders have their own entertainment when they give the dogs stale sandwiches 

Moving at Pace - Counting Down the days!

Now the boys are back on full time after looking after a few of the local farmers things are back to full speed again.
Gib has now been completed on all the rooms and just about finished the main living space.
We ordered a whole lot of flooring from Chch out of the Halswell Hall as a result of the Earthquake.

Jack has developed a taste for Gib Plaster!
