Any spare time we’ve had, which is sparse due to MM’s current work roster, we’ve spent emptying Dad’s house and getting it ready to sell. Some of the furniture has ended up in the middle of my lounge room waiting for me to sell on Ebay, and the rest handed around to family members. The charity store ended up with 2 full skip bins of stuff and 1 trailer load went to the dump.

Our own renovations are inching along. Even if we only get to install 1 tap over the week, it’s still progression.

The bathroom is almost finished with the glass splash panel/shower screen the only item left.

We’ve installed LED down-lights, ceiling vent, flat-bottomed bath (easier to stand in) with shower overhead, vanity unit, mirror and towel racks. Tiled to ceiling.

We’ve installed a new toilet, painted and tiled the room.

We are waiting for the kitchen bench and splash-back to be installed so we can then finish off the kitchen and install the sink, dishwasher, cook-top and range-hood. Crossing fingers it will be done next week.

We then get the tiler back to finish off the floor tiling and we can move into the house. Yippy, it’s getting frigid out in the pergola where we eat at night.
