but we are really really close! so close it hurts we aren’t done yet, especially since it’s school holiday’s and we are forced to sleep in the shed (a time honoured tassie tradition, but still). any project manager worth their salt will tell you that the last ten percent of the work requires ninety percent…

it’s the new year and things are moving. maybe on quite as fast as we were hoping they would, but it’s great to see progress. good progress actually. it’s in the nature of things that sometimes it is quite easy to tell that the day we can move in is approaching, and this is certainly…
initially we only had one single, straight and also super steep road up to the top of the hill, the spot with the great view. steep enough so 2wd cars had a hard time getting to the top. then we located and eventually upgraded a perviously hardly visible goat track that we found sneaking off…
today is one of those rare times, when one can see a thing in the middle of a transformation, from one almost permanent state to another. between those two states another one is revealed, and the only thing that can capture this is a photo. or a drone shot. yesterday the guys removed the scaffolding,…
now all our internal walls are up, and as of this week, finished to near perfection, it is time for some colour. disappointingly perhaps, on most surfaces this colour will be white, which contains, physically, all colours, but could be seen as a bit of a cop out when it comes to design choice. fair…
things are progressing well: the plasterer is applying the third (and last) coat to all the plaster walls and suspended ceilings, and the renderers have been back to finish the internal walls (i think there may be some buts & pieces left), plus an external ‘trial’ bit, so we could see what it would be…
living on top of a hill (it’s only 60m above sea level, but still) has its perks. since we moved here we have seen the george river inundate the flood plain below on a number of occasions, and the causeway had to be closed several times as well. around our new home we have been…
it’s raining. all the time. really hard, actually. i guess this is why the renderers have decided to delay someone else’s job to come and work on our house instead. strictly inside, of course. it’s far too wet outside. inside, too: apparently we had a bit of a water feature going on inside our new…
