Stage two of the renovations

We found we needed more cornice and skirting boards so off to Moora we went. It gave us the morning off. While there Allan and I purchased some new furniture for the extended lounge room.

1st piece of gyprock went on the walls today. YES!

Rusty is getting in on the action.


Most of the gyprock went on the walls and ceiling in our room great now is ready for Allan and Tim to plaster the joins. this is a thankless job. There has to be at least 3 coats go on and be sanded between coats.

Also fibro ceiling boards on the verandah eaves are being put up. 

 Cutting fibro board for verandah eaves is serious business
 Up it goes
Let me out, Let me out, Let me out Pleeeeeaaaasse!!!!

While the boys did the insulation and some gyprock in the new room Kathy and I played with paint on the skirting boards.

Allan cut the doorway into the new room and set the frame in place, we do have to admit there were a few swear words in the mix.

Looking from the lounge through to the new room.

Tim had fun creating a snow storm of epic proportions with the sanding of the plaster.

The cornices started going up while the sanding and plastering goes on and on and on...........

 Busy busy busy in the new room
Knock off time - Cricket is on - Drinks are here.
See you next time.

    1. Ok we went to Kath`s brothers place at Jurien Bay back in January\February to help renovate his house. We pushed one wall out 1.5 by 14 meters long then had to re clad both walls and ceilings and re-tile the floors. We worked very hard..... then we went traveling through the Great Central road to Ayres Rock.
