What have I been up too

Hi everyone,

Sorry about the pictures but I am having real problem re sizing them for the blog when I do re size the colour goes really funny. The program I was using was on my main PC but the mother board has gone and died, could be the dust, and that is my bad excuse. I have put my hard drive into Christine's dad's PC last night as their Windows XP has broken down, so when I have time I will up load the pictures there.
The builders have pretty much finished on site. They have fitted the French doors and en suite window in the attic, fitted the stair case done all the tiling so we are now officially 'water tight'. however the list of jobs I have to do is huge :-

Build partition for study next to Attic room,
Build partition for en suite in attic room
Build partition for stair case into attic room
Insulate attic room plus study,
Plasterboard attic room and study,
Install en suite bathroom
Install en suite in new bedroom above garage
Knock wall into utility room
Install new back door from utility room
Install 8 fire doors and 5 standard door
Install Utility room
Insulate above garage
Insulate all floors
Plasterboard garage ceiling
Fit kitchen
Plasterboard new dining room
Then paint everything etc!!

So tonnes still to do, but we plod on and I am sure we will get there.
The builders although they have finished I am planning to keep them on for a week or so to finish a lot of this work.

But Christine and I have been busy, we have partitioned the Utility room from the garage,
started plumbing in the utility room and en suites, fitted the down stair toilet, plasterboard all the bedroom above the garage, partitioned in the bathroom installed the windows in the bedroom.
We have also finished all the plastering in the living room and Christine is off work next week so she will get this painted and we can move back in there.

Pictures, I will try and publish tomorrow.


Blog soon

It is looking absolutely fantastic. I just kept saying Wow! as I was looking. Bet you glad you are water tight, if you are getting the rain that we are having up here. It seems to have rained for a week. Love, Aunty Net.
P.S
Uncle Billy will probaly comment later he has gone to the workshop with the boys to put up partitions and fix the roof.
