Hi everyone, my name is Rene, have been lurking this site for a while and thought it was time to join and make contact
Hubby and i bought our first home in the illawarra - a 1960s weatherboard cottage and have slowly been renovating since to update it, nothing major as $$ are tight but we're getting there. At least the textured wall paper, lime green and purple walls, faded apricot bathroom are gone...oh and i have an indoor toilet now (one pregnant lady threw a tantrum last year at facing the prospect of having to go outside at night with a pregnant lady's bladder so guess who got an indoor toilet ) now if only there was a way to get 1 yr old daughter to leave Mum alone whilst she's using said indoor toilet
We've left the kitchen till last (for the inside of the house renos anyway) and what an ordeal!!!
Anyways, thanks so much for the tips and hints already - we dream of one day building our own home, in the mean time though, i love reading your blogs and seeing the progress on your homes and living "virtually" vicariously through you
