All Night Long

So I guess its my turn to write on the blog.

So the Easter long weekend has been and gone...sigh. Our list of things to do was long and as per usual we get to the last night before the working week and look back at what we have done and think hmm did we really get much done?

Anyways... so Friday we started on the plastering....we don't know what everyone was talking about, its fun! We started in the main bedroom on the wall that will be covered by a wardrobe. It took a few walls to get the technique right (or as close as we thought) but we think we have got it down packed. Most of the rooms now have their second base coat ready for the top coat in the coming week. We thought we would leave the ceilings to last as we really are not looking forward to doing them.

On Saturday we ran out to the tip to dump some more of the green waste from around the house ( I think we are up to our 4th trip just of trees and shrubs). The afternoon was spent at Harvey Norman looking for appliances for our kitchen which we should see in approx 6 weeks....wooo hoo. We have picked out a few things we really like and look forward to having a place where we can cook and clean that's not outside.

Easter Sunday started with a run around the Brisbane River followed by lunch with the family at Ant and Jess's. We took the arvo off...

And finally Easter Monday we were back on the tools! I worked on the remaining beading and Bec spent most the day sanding the walls in preparation for the final top coat. We spent the arvo cleaning the place and got a sneak peak at what the floors will hopefully look like once they are polished. Having issues uploading pics so here are just a few.

Enjoy.
