Welcome

Welcome to our blog! We've just bought a house in the suburbs of Perth, West Australia. It was originally built in the early 1960s, and there have been lots of additions and renovations over the years, although not all of them were done well.
Over the next weeks, months, and years, we're planning to slowly but surely turn this old house into our dream home! We've started this blog as a place to document all of the changes as they happen...kind of like a scrap book! We hope you enjoy!

Almost There!

Well, the official moving day is tomorrow! In some ways, it's hard to believe that it's already time to move in, but in other ways, it can't come soon enough! So, the new house is fully painted now, the carpets have been shampooed, and the hardwood floors have been polished. I've also almost got the kitchen cabinets fully stocked with dishes and food. So, we're definitely getting there.

Of course, Andy called the internet company early this week and asked them to disconnect everything on Friday, and they didn't listen, so we now have no internet on the house...and therefore no photos to go with this post. I'll get photos this weekend once the house is filled with furniture and once the old house is empty. SO EXCITED!
On the renovation side of things...I'm speaking with companies to try and get quotes for replacing our asbestos garage with an Alu-bond one...it's not an easy task! We also should be speaking with the designer from Dale Alcock again in the next week or two to have a look at concepts for our major renovations... YAY!
