As I alluded to yesterday, we now have new floorboards, thus finishing off the second half of the house. Goodbye carpet! Just like we did in 2011, we went away on a road trip holiday to visit family in NSW, leaving the builders and sanders alone to do their thing. It was very exciting to arrive back Sunday evening to see how it all went, although we already had an idea, thanks to some shots that were texted to us earlier in the week.
Here is the woodpile in our dining area before work got started.
Here are some ‘before and after’ photos.
The first bedroom:
The hallway:
The master bedroom:
(As you can see, our first piece of business was to get our web connection back up and running. Because we can live without furniture or comfort, but take our internet away from us and we get testy.)
(BTW – the light wasn’t great for a shot of the other bedroom.)
This is where we’ll be living for a few days, while we wait for the wood to properly cure and we find the energy to drag everything back inside. It’s cosy.
Next job – painting!
