We returned to the farm late Monday 20th October and our home had definitely become a building site! Poor Vern and Aaron had discovered upon removing some floorboards that bunnies had once thought our place was a pretty nice place to live too anad there were burrows everywhere and the soil covered some piers and other piers didn't even connect with the floor anymore! This certainly wasn't in the brief but being the stars they are, the guys got to it and cleaned it all up and the job was back on track.
Oh, there was one more hurdle before the gyprockers could start - the wall on the other side of the fireplace bowed...badly! So the guys move the fireplace out a bit (that's what they're doing in this photo) and then removed some of the floor and then whacked the wall into line. They've definitely got the touch!
The bi-fold door arrives!
The bi-fold doors in all their glory!
Rosi and I were finally trusted with a job other than removing nails from old bits of timber or pulling out the staples from the old floor....we were entrusted with the task of putting installation into the walls....lucky us! Actually, we quite enjoyed doing out bit to get the place ready for the gyprockers.
The makeshift kitchen till our new one arrives in 4 weeks.
The gyprockers arrive...they're the ones that make the place look all new!
