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!

Progress - week of 8 October

I decided that I'd stop trying to post anytime something changes because I just get depressed all of the days I come home and nothing has happened! So, I figured we would start going for a weekly update. And then you guys can also have a better idea when to look at the blog for new pics!
Although it may seem like a lot of progress for this past week, this is actually only 2 days of work...just imagine what could be done if they actually worked 5 whole days! :)
All of the progress this week is to get them closer to being able to do the roofing work....
well...maybe this isn't work progress! but he sure was working hard on our morning coffees! :)
This is the "study" with one window removed & bricked up and the new smaller window fitted.
The low window will side right above our kitchen sink with cabinets above and the   living room is on the left of the photo.
They have installed the lintel for the big corner window, giving them support for the roof works that need to happen.
This is the highlight window in the living room...it will sit above the couch.
Scaffolding put up for working on the balcony deck and some wood framing, although we're not exactly sure what for because that wall will be full windows when we're done!
