Sorry I have been a bit slack on posting this last month, but with buying and selling a home, I have been busy busy busy.
Last Thursday we finally became the owners of a 5 bedroom home on a 16 acre block. We wanted to have it painted before we moved in and decided to get a couple of things fixed before hand.
A "couple of things" has turned into something bigger than Ben Hur!
I have taken down all the curtains and after washing them I realise that I need to replace most of them..I think the dirt was holding them together!
The room above is going to be my sewing room, and the 3 mirrored-door built in has been changed to all shelving for my fabric. Light switches have been moved and all switches throughout the house have been changed as I didn't like the timber & brass ones.
Light fittings have been changed, old ceiling fans removed & replaced by modern ones, fly screens replaced, front door replaced, one toilet removed & replaced with a new one and it keeps going on and on.
Last Friday it looked like a TV remodelling show as there were: 2 builders, 2 painters, 2 electricians and my partner and I all there doing things!
I spent 3 hours cleaning the oven today, only to find out that when I turned it on to get rid of the smell, it doesn't work!
It will be worth it when we move in a couple of weeks!
Until next post...
Cheers...Jewells

Sounds like a job and a half. But as you say, well worth the effort. I wish you many happy years in your new home, and look forward to seeing what you get up to in your sewing room.
