I've slowed down a fair bit lately - even taken time off to read a book, look at the view, go for walks. But there are still some things to finish. This was the last thing I posted - tiling the kitchen backsplash. Here it is finished https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/39796_1713171130.jpg As I've probab...

I am still plodding along getting some of the little tasks done such as random gap filling, building the pull-out pantry and planning the main pantry and bathroom cupboard (so I can order all the materials for a single delivery) In the meantime - here are some "Then and Now" photos! https:...

Busy couple of weeks with lots of painting done. Once the hallway was painted I set about reinstalling the sliding container panel barn door. https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/39796_1706061380.jpg The red colour of the door is the same as the original colour of the shipping containers.

Well a month has passed by quickly. I have been busy working every day but there is not a huge amount to show. School thankfully finished for Summer 2 weeks ago so I have more time (and energy) for the house build. It doesn't start again until the beginning of February next year. One of the first th...

In the past 10 days since my last post I haven't managed to get a huge amount done. Four of those days were teaching (and a day at school is way more exhausting than 8 hours labouring on the house - if you know any casual/substitute teachers ask them what it's like in a low economic area state schoo...

Three and a half weeks living here and I'm loving the quiet (except for the occasional distant cow conversations) Solar is holding up exceptionally well. First time I used the oven during the day (new oven so it was recommended turning on max power for 45 minutes to burn off residue). I checked the ...

The electricians came on Monday and finished all of the electrical work. All of the lights, switches and power-points are operational and so too is the hot water tank. (Electric heat pump) The bathroom still needs a cupboard built around the laundry tub and washing machine, plus an architrave (ughh....

The plumber returned today and installed all the kitchen, bathroom vanity, toilet, shower and laundry tub plumbing. It is all usable now (except the shower which needs the hot water tank electrical work done.) It seems a bit unreal to have a functioning bathroom! I love my unusual shower rose and sh...

I'm still waiting for the order mentioned in the previous post - over 3 weeks now so I have no batten clips or insulation to finish the lounge room ceiling. Bu there is still plenty to go on with. This photo shows the difference in levels of parts of the lounge ceiling. The top blue line shows the b...

Main bedroom ceiling now sheeted. I'm running low on insulation for the lounge/dining ceiling so have ordered more along with other odds and ends (doors for the hall cupboard, door reveals for the barn door, more 2x4;s,and I think I'lll need more shadowline bead) https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/39796...

Last 4 days at the house (2 were in the classroom!) since my last post and I managed to get the kitchen ceiling up. The battens certainly made it easier to put the insulation in. https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/39796_1687161047.jpg https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/39796_1687161063.jpg https://forum.hom...

With the long weekend over I realised that I have now been working 7 days a week for 2 years straight except for 3 days off for Christmas (the one before last!)
