Renovations: Days Twenty-Six And Twenty-Seven

The last couple of days have seen a few noticeable changes.

Namely, the near completion of external walls, and the installation of windows!


This process also included the replacement of two existing windows, in our lounge room and dining room. Those two had to be double-glazed - it's to do with their position in direct sun and the energy rating. Or something.

While I spent Saturday out walking and visiting, to get Abbey out of the builder's way, Steve got outside and began undercoating the back pergola (we want to paint it before the laserlight goes on).

This truckload of steel was delivered, too. This coming week will see this installed as our new roof (weather permitting)!


The builder also had a little chat to us about the next stage: cutting through to the existing part of the house. Which is Abbey's room (soon to be my our new office!). So, if you don't hear from me much this week, you can be sure I'm up to my neck in boxes, as I remove the contents of our spare room and move everything in Abbey's room into it.

I'm reminding myself: it will be worth it. It will be worth it.

  3. How exciting! Cutting through the wall is a great part of renos.

    The builder was so keen to cut through ours he did it before I had finished packing... I have a framed litho print my sister did for me with a nice neat saw mark in it. I have kept the frame as a reminder of the process!

    Fingers crossed for good weather.

  4. Oh it looks great. And yes, it will SO be worth it! A trying process but at least an opportunity to sort out all your stuff too. So jealous you're getting your own office :)
