Yes, we have made the first three years! Originally we have set ourselves a target of one room per year. We forgot about the outside. To date, we have done the front room, which is our temporary bedroom, and the living room with the dining room, and I nearly forgot about the bathroom! We have also done some work on the new kitchen to be. On the outside we have repainted 80 % of the outside walls, rebuilt the decks. I think we are about on target.
We did manage to sand and paint the interior wall by the patio door, and stain / varnished the Rimu door frame that Willie helped build a year ago. It blends in perfectly with the original stain on the doors and skirtings. We also sanded the rod for the curtains. I made it myself and it was a bit rough. I was not prepared to pay the price for a new one. I cut a plastic pipe in half, stuck a piece of sandpaper inside it, and got it as nice as a baby's arm ( no, not that part). That was also stain/ varnished as before.All four of the curtains we have been given are up now. The outside of the doors got a lick of paint in anticipation of a visit from the local newspaper on Tuesday.
Sorry, visually there is not enough progress to justify a picture.
Thank you very much for the regular update. It takes more time to finish than make, especially if you want it to look great.
