We're still trying to get rid of the eye-sore blue shed at the back. Have sold it twice on Trademe but the people didn't go through with the buy. That seems to be happening alot on Trademe lately.
The front house has just got it's first coat of paint on the roof. French doors bought from a demolition trader via Trademe have gone in to the driveway side of the house (that's North, sun-facing) and allow alot more light inside.
Inside is almost just the skeleton. We've had to rip up some of the laundry floor because of poor repairs to rotten subfloor timbers. Some joists run across to nothing - no support. Some are propped on timber which is standing on another piece of timber sitting on the ground!
New beams have to be put in where the dining room walls are coming out. This requires new supports and new piles, hence the holes in the floor through which we had to manually dig down into the dirt underneath to install new tanalised timber piles and concrete. We're held up on that while we wait for the Council Permit. They've got some questions on heights, thickness and materials... as they usually do.
