News Update!

Sorry for the delay in posts, I have become so busy doing so many things that the blog has been overlooked.

Well to update you....

Firstly the shed....we have only just finished the whole long painfully slow Shed co trouble.
It started with the company we had ordered a shed through going bust with our money(ordered the shed in Nov 2008).
Well it finished last week with a new order for the same shed from the new owner!
The main differences are this time, only a 6% deposit has been outlaid not a %50 one, and we signed the deal with the owner of the company. So the previous owner has got away with a lot of my money, and 500 other customers money, and apparently this is the third time he has pulled this trick. So much for our justice system!
So hopefully in about 3 weeks time we should have a pile of shed components in the back yard...

I have not been sitting round doing nothing feeling sorry for myself all this time however!

Here's a list of some things I have got done in past months...

  • Front porch clean and paint (lots of paint stripping fun there!)
  • Front porch weather shield construction(translucent corrugated sheeting with steel frame)
  • Installed last new window to laundry, now all new alloy windows have been installed.
  • Built and populated new vegi garden
  • Started digging out front rh driveway and found previously unknown retaining wall!
  • Finished the bathroom upgrade with towel rails..
  • Finished kitchen window architrave and painted.
  • Started insulating the house(pink batts) ceiling with Sarah's room Ben's next and ours and rest of house later :) (this job really sucks, hurts ma knees like crap! Starting to sound like an old man :)
  • Rebuilt the patio at the rear, with new timber and new colourbond custom orb tin(30 sqm finally some weather protection!)
  • Oh and of course had a tripple car concrete pad laid ready for a shed that never came!
I am sure that there are many other things I cant remember right now, but you can see I've been busy, but ya know when I walk about the house, ya really cant see much that I have done at all DOH!
So anyways almost made it through this school term, holidays approaching ya!!! Planning some fun with ma Son and Daughter these holidays should be good!!

Slippery Out!
