It gets worse before it gets better.

28th Dec 2010

Well you'll be happy to know that this morning I arrived to find a house still securely locked up and free from any further vandalisum. As you have probably seen; my house is full of holes, infact when I'd been right through the house and checked every wall, turns out there were only two that didn't have at least one whole or some fire damage and one of these two 'undamaged' walls is the one that I want to rip out between the toilet and existing bathroom to make a more reasonable sized bathroom.Today was the day that we needed to start cutting out the plasterboard to make way for patching.

 

Now let me pause for a moment for a side note; as it turns out my little sister (big thanks to her for all the help so far) has developed something of a passion for kicking through gyprock so if anyone needs a hand with any such jobs, you know who to talk to!


Anyway as is often the case in life, when in a bad state often things get worse before they get better. when your driving the wrong way; you sometimes have turn off the right road completely to turn around, when you make a hard decision to; you often have to work even harder to make it a reality and when you want to patch holes in gyprock you have to make the holes even bigger so that they're right to take new plasterboard.  I'm pretty sure I'm about to steal an Idea of Lewis again but here goes anyway: It is a lot like the life of a new christian, or any christian realy; there are things in our lives, broken and damaged parts. sometimes it does seem like we are having to give up parts of ourselves when God wants to take them but in actuallity there is better to come, full unbroken life like full unbroken plasterboard in place of the old.

Here is my house full of even larger holes getting ready for its new life!

 

Also Today my mum and sister took the doors off the Kitchen so I can get them ready for their new look, it was a bit of a reality check to think about moving out to this place for a few month once its livable; there is quite a contrast between my kitchen and the one at home:

 

Life is about to change hey!
