House Renovations


Most of you know we are extending our little house and renovating too, it has been hard going, just about every weekend we get stuck into some sort of HARD WORK ! and we are slowly getting there, I am so proud that we have done it all on our own (except the gutters and roof) this is our progress so far



 This is the front of the house, the front is our room with ensuite and walk in robe, then an add on for the existing lounge room
 This is and add on for our new kitchen and dining the concrete part is going to be our covered in sun room

 This Was Dan and I struggling to get a MASSIVE double truss up on the roof. this needed to go all the way over to the sun room OMG it was heavy But we did it!, pretty clever idea i gotta say ;) 

 In  the middle of extending our house we have also built a pool for the kids and a massive deck  Sheesh what is wrong with us LOL

here is the deck nearly finished 
 
I will have to take an updated photo of the pool and deck as it is all finished now, just needs a stain over the deck timbers
My Brother Aiden came and did our roof for us in April
 Here is our Bifold Doors which are now properly installed and are looking fantastic , this is the sunroom area
 Our room without weather boards
Below is the dining and sunroom now with weatherboards

 Doors are now getting hung ...Ahh we are now looking like a house

We have done a bit more since this photo..
I am most excited about building a window seat, i have always wanted a window seat and it's going to happen in the extension of the lounge room  YAH ME !! 


So there we have it just a little update as to where we are at and what we do on our weekends. I can't wait to show you all the inside area once we have walls ;) oh happy days !  Our plan is to be in our bedroom by Christmas.  At this rate it could be a possibility, keep your fingers crossed for us
We have plumbers starting in the en-suite on Tuesday OMG excitement !! 

Thanks for visiting

Hi Bridgette- following you back, thanks! I came over to check out your addition. Holy cow! That is a ton of work! It must be crazy living like that until it is complete. What a huge undertaking. I love a good risk! andrea @ townandprairie
