In an epic weekend of Mary Poppins, a 30th birthday party and throwing up some walls, gosh I am tired. Now its back to work today. Mum and Dad arrive tomorrow for 2 weeks to help out and I can't wait! Well not much to say this week as all we did was put some gyprock on the walls. But boy do they make a difference to the house. So we started on the hallway and ended in one of the spare rooms. The spare room looks amazing. Nice and bright.
I have a few lessons I would like to share:
1. Do not use white linen while renovating, with a dog and in the wet season. All I do is wash my white donna cover! Annoying.
2. Do not measure window holes with a head ache (self inflicted)
3. When gyprocking on top half of your wall, use milk crates. So much better than using a ladder.
4. Impact drill is GOD!
5. Every girl needs a tool belt!
6. Measure twice, cut once
Note: Images are no in order again.

The funs starts when you start plastering. If you thought it was messy now, just wait for the plaster dust :)
You've got electrical wall brackets screwed into place right? Give yourself a bit more of a hole to drag your cables through, before you put up the top sheet. You'll have to do it in the end, but it's easier to do before the top sheet goes up (just my two bits)
Looking good guys.....my mate bought one of those vibrating, rotating blade tools of the television and reckons it is awesome....put it on the wish list Bec, it will give you the POWER..along with the hammer and toolkit. Look forward to after family pics....and nice you did not go with the stripes...
