December 06 Renovation Rescue Update # 4Hi folks,
Well its been a couple of months since I posted an update on the state of our renovations. Over the last couple of months we have had alot of rain which hasn't helped at all but despite that we have managed to push along and make progress. Today; as i type this the brick layers are working on the outside of the house which is great. So now we finally have the roof on which of course means we won't be affected by any rain. The windows are in; tiling for bathrooms have arrived and guttering is going in. All our appliances for the kitchen have arrived and we had those in the lounge room for a month but thankfully those are now out the back.
So its all go now and over the weekend we even had our first barbecue out the back since the renovations started. We just setup a table in what will be our new lounge room and sat amongst the dirt and dust. It wasn't bad at all and the kids still had fun!
Speaking of the kids having fun check out this photo taken today of my son Jamie in his lion suit. He is finding his owns ways to amuse himself and the builders!
So check out the Renovations photo album for some updated photos!
Until next time!  September 07 Renovation Rescue Update #3Well we are a month into renovating and we are all coping well even though half the house is a mess.
This week the builders have begun to lay the foundation for the new part of the house. The concrete was poured last week and they have begun to lay bricks up to where the floor level will be.
We can now start to see what the shape is going to be like and I've published some new photos to the renovations picture library so you can get an idea.
Until next time... August 24 Renovation Rescue: Update #2Hi folks,
Well we are into week 3 of our renovations and things are really starting to shape up. All the concrete that was in the backyard has been taken away and the builders are now in the early stages of preparing the foundations for the new part of the house.
Today they dug trenches and laid metal reinforcements and tomorrow they will be pouring the concrete for the foundation. The back yard is a series of holes and we have trenches dug almost all around the house. When I got home tonight it was a challenge just getting inside! Anyway progress is a good thing.
Checkout the Renovations photo album for some updated photos!
 Till next time... August 15 Renovation RescueHi folks,
Well after a year of waiting and dealing with our local council we have finally started the renovations on our house. While I was in the US for 2 weeks construction or shall I say demolition of our house began. I got home to see 2 holes in my house and half of it gone! Awesome! My wife is naturally relieved to see some work finally beginning and my son is enjoying all the trucks that are at the house everyday!
Check out the renovations photo album for a progress report in pictures!
all the best
