Just a little more time!

From the 29th of January until the present; time has been passing by too quickly in my little world, however contrary to what this blog might have lead you to believe work has been progressing at my place, even if quite slowly. Time is a strange thing, how much time do we have, how much do we need & how much do we waste? What does time take and what does it leave behind? I think time often shows things for what they really are but it can also be very harsh in its treatment of people. Whether it paints a grand picture of some great accomplishment or only leaves footprints on a dust covered floor the perspective time brings always leaves you thinking, but is it worth waiting for it?

I'm afraid lately when it comes to working on my house time has been scarce and when it comes to blogging about it I've been able to find even less. I've let it go for so long that catching up seems somewhat overwhelming so I've decided to go for this one massive post bringing us right up to date, so here we go:

29th Jan

We got most of the larger sheets of gyprock in place and Bill came over and gave us a hand with it!

31st Jan

Until now the house had been quite drafty, It was time to have new glass installed. There were 8 smashed windows. it was good to have the house sealed up. they are still boarded up unfortunately because while no one is living there I really don't want them smashed again.

I ordered new internal doors  and picked them up, I still haven't had a chance to install any of them but they're there.

I had my main power switch stolen and found out you could get a special energy Australia pad lock to keep the fuse box secure!

Once we had pulled up the Lino and Masonite we had to pull up all the small tacks; Thanks to Bill and Mum another good job!

The old bathroom was past its prime and so it was time for it all to come out to make way for a new one. once the wall between the bath and the toilet was out we had to rip up the old floor.

Once the old tiles were cleared out we had to put in a new sill in the bathroom doorway because the old one had gotten wet and had begun to rot.

Then we put down the first layer of floor leveler!

So work at the house is moving on slowly and hopefully time will prove this venture to be a success, but as time passes bye things are already beginning to turn out differently than I expected, but more about that in the future I guess!
