In an effort to spread the workload over the next few weeks, we started by packing up the smallest upstairs bedroom and moving its contents down to the garage. The less flights of stairs we need to negotiate on moving day, the better!
We then moved on to my office and did as much as we could whilst still allowing me to work up there this week. I might eventually need to camp out at the kitchen table for a few days in order to make some more progress in this room.
The small spare room is now ready to be cleaned top to toe and the bathroom and office are not far behind. That will probably be part of next weekend's task. Two long weekends in a row have come in handy!
We've also packed a few boxes of non-essential kitchen items and also created a pile for the op shop so the kitchen is starting to look a bit bare.
On the build front, our Site Supervisor is on leave this week but everything is motoring along in his absence. Today I met with the guy laying the driveway next week, to see if we can afford to get some extra exposed aggregate pathways laid at the same time. We hope to have the quote some time tonight so that we can make a decision. We have some retaining wall and fencing bills to juggle at the same time so we'll see how we go with that. I'm sure its cheaper to get it all done at once but unfortunately we don't have a money tree, and I never remember to buy a lotto ticket.
While I was there discussing the pathway options, the downstairs flooring was being laid. The guys were cracking through it and didn't have much more to do when I took these photos. It looks fantastic, and really warms up the space.
I believe the carpet is being laid tomorrow, and the shower screens and mirrors will be done next week. Soooo exciting!
How good does that look.
