The vision unfolds!

We're into week seven of the BBY Beautification and it's all starting to feel very real now. Not that what's happened to date hasn't been amazing - it's just that when the work actually starts to take place within four walls and you have to pack things up and everything gets covered in dust...that's when you know you truly are renovating!

But I'm getting ahead of myself....plenty of changes took place outside during week five AND we were delighted to be able to share these in person with our wonderful friends, Greg, Cathy and Harry Kerr (yes, can you believe it, they came to visit us during the renovations AND they put in a hard day's work getting the retaining wall up and on it's way). We hope you enjoy these pics taken over that time.....more to come soon!

Love Megs, Rosi, Sidd, Viny and Adi


That's Aaron up there showing off his muscles and then we have Aaron and Vern proving they are in no way scared of heights....you wouldn't find me up there for quids! And here's a pic of how it looks from the driveway now the deck has a roof over it.


The great wall of West Bulga begins! Rosi tracked down a (relatively) local supplier and 55 sleepers were soon delivered. Rosi and Greg had a preliminery meeting (with beer in hand) to come up with a cunning plan. Vern threw in a few useful tips and set up the string line (now that's a handy piece of equipment!) and we were ready to get started.


Getting the foundations right. Greg, Cathy and Rosi get the posts in place and line up the bottom sleepers all the way round.


Megs and Harry mix up some more cement for the posts.


You start to get the idea.


Rosi and Megs go it alone after the Kerr's left for Newcastle and then home to Sydney. We've pretty much finished it now - though wet weather over the last week has prevented us from putting the steps in leading up to the back door. Fingers crossed we'll be able to get into it again soon.
