Living the Dream... week 8

Hi there - well I can't say that much has really happened this week regarding the renovation so I'll just tell you what else we've been up to. Duncan mowed the lawn. I know it doesn't sound that exciting but the grass was about up to our waist while we've had so much rubbish around the place. We've also done some gardening - pulling out the weeds and planting some seedlings like corn, silverbeet, beetroot, lettuce and others. It's looking really nice.

We bought our paint for the deck posts and outside walls, and paint for the inside walls and ceiling. It was difficult trying to match the colours... we were positive the colours were right and even looking in the pot the colour was right...
but on the wall it looks a shade different. Oh well, it'll work out in the end, we just have to paint the entire wall instead of patching it up like we thought we could do. I've put an example of the painting in progress here on the posts for the deck, this colour is called Manor Red - this is to match the roof and flashing. One thing the builder did do this week was finally put locks on our new kitchen windows - see photo!

To finish off, Kiai has discovered a new place to lie around....

And Scott and Zaneta sent us some lovely flowers to congratulate us on the pregnancy. They are absolutely beautiful as you can see. Many thanks to them. And here I am at 25 weeks. All is well.
