Jack’s buddies…

Here’s Jackson with some of his soft toy buddies. There’s a few more in storage but these are his favorites. He’ll think it’s Christmas when all our house stuff comes back from the movers…

Ella’s birthday…

We popped over the the Viv’s for Ella’s birthday. Had a great time. The kids loved the egg and spoon races!

All the kids sugaring up! Rose made the most amazing cake – seriously, it was an architectural masterpiece! Gates, turrets, shingle roofs, trees etc!

House rebuild updates…

Here’s a few updates from the rebuild…

The builders are 98% done on the house, all internal/external doors and windows are in, and the tilers went hard last few days and got all the tiles done (grout tomorrow).

Next week belongs to the painters who will go hard all week. The following Monday is the stonemason as well as plumber, sparky and general fitout.

The painters will be using a ‘blonding’ solution (whitening) the walls rather than polyurathane so that’ll lighten it all up even more.

At this stage we’re aiming to move in on the 15th April and the office moves back on the 18th.

We’re all really looking forward to getting back into our home. The garage has been great but we’re all craving space now and with a newborn, it can get a little noisy with screaming etc… Will be great getting home again.

Some photos…

Lounge showing where fire wall will go (on left) and the small gib wall on right for the TV.

Taking all the middle section out not only saved money but make it more modern as well 😉
