It's been a while

But it doesn't feel like much has happened over the last month or so.
The plasterers are still plastering and the place has been such a mess.

Another week of plastering and I hope they are finished then. We had to sack our carpenter as well it just wasn't working . Let's just say that after having to pull down quite a bit of the pine lining due to mould we weren't happy. Even after assurances of "she'll be right mate". Well sorry it just wasn't right . So we now have walls with missing boards and hopefully we have pulled all the mouldy ones down.
Next on the agenda is waterproofing the bathrooms.

When we started this house I wasn't sure it was going to be big enough even though Grahame assured me it was . Turns out he was right and wrong, it's TOO big. The problem being, the bigger it is the more money you have to spend (obviously)!
Now I'm a real tight arse unlike Grahame and with him away I'm finding it hard to say yes the $15,000 floorboards or the tiles that are $150 per square metre even though I really like them. So it will be interesting to see what I choose and how it's going to look. Infact I'm really motivated to make my home as stylish as possible on the least amount of money.

 However I did lash out on this beauty. The Falcon Classic 110. Super excited to have this in my kitchen.

Isn't it great, at 110cm it's huge it has a matching rangehood as well. We have the induction cooktop rather than the gas. It's the closest I could get to an Aga and it's actually made by the Aga company. Aga's need to be on 24/7 and aren't really suited to a hot Aussie summer. So this was the next best thing. I wold have chosen the red one but the rangehood only comes in black or stainless so black it is.
This will be delivered in August.

That's it for now. Hopefully there will be faster progress after the plaster is all done.
