Re: The Noodle Family Preston - we have keys!! 230Nov 15, 2011 3:51 pm Thanks everyone..... yes, not enjoying the packing so far. It's a little while before we can move in because of the floors etc, so at least we can take our time with it. I had to add this one in though. Sooo happy to finally have a clear view of the front without the skip, the porta-loo and all the rubbish laying around.... Although the old pallet stays, just in case it rains some more http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/HillsCass/Edited-5635.jpg More interior photos to follow later, I promise. When there's something worth photographing! Cassie 28/7/11 - Slabbed 15/8/11 - Framed 19/9/11 - LOCKED UP! 6/10/11 - Kitchen in! 11/11/11 - It's all OURS!

Re: The Noodle Family Preston - we have keys!! 232Nov 20, 2011 5:12 pm Thankyou Annette Not that we've had time to admire the house much this weekend.... We've spent the entire weekend filling up a 3cu m skip, and turning THIS http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/HillsCass/Edited-5654.jpg Into THIS!! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/HillsCass/Edited-5670.jpg Cannot wait to be out of this place, even doing the landscaping from scratch won't be this back-breaking. We are on 1/2 an acre here, and it's just soooo much work to maintain. Especially with the crazy weather we've had that has helped everything grow like mad! Getting the skip was just the best idea we had though.... it would have taken forever if we had to keep stopping to take trailer loads to the dump, and as we don't have a trailer, we would have had to pay hire as well as dump fees. This meant we could just work non-stop for 5 hours. Ouch. Anyway, I took a couple of shots of the house when I was there last week. The data cabler went through (Hi Pugs!) and did all the wall plates etc, and the next day the Air-con internal grilles etc were done. So it's creeping ever closer. Kitchen cupboards, all pretty! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/HillsCass/Edited-5650.jpg Main Bathroom, which we are using at the moment for when we are at the house http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/HillsCass/Edited-5649.jpg Ensuite frieze close-up, because I love it! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/HillsCass/Edited-5647.jpg One side of the ensuite vanity with some doodads and knick-knacks. Not properly decorated yet, but it will do to make it feel like a house and not a building site anymore! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/HillsCass/Edited-5646.jpg Definitely counting down the days until the moving truck arrives. We have SOOOOO much going on between now and then, it's going to be a crazy mad rush at the end, I am sure. At least the garden is ticked off now!
