Post Wedding April Update

Whoa! April was a busy month for sure! We left for Noosa on the 29th March, and our parents joined us on the 2nd April...and we got married on the 3rd! Very exciting, but a completely unrelated story. So, on the 6th, we headed back home with the parents in tow to put them to work on the house...we take all the help we can get! Especially now that we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

So, with two weeks of help from the parents and one more week of hard work on our own, we have made quite a bit of progress since the last update. Check out a few highlight photos below...

Well, we've gone from this room being our kitchen/study only a couple of months ago to it being a fully liveable guest bedroom.

It might look a bit cramped. This is actually the study, but was fitted as a bedroom for the parents to stay in since downstairs wasn't complete. This is also our new bedroom suite we got...we really like it, especially with the light gray walls.

We actually have a liveable space with seating in our open kitchen/dining/living area. The only thing left is to bring in the dining table!

Two days of hard work and the bamboo flooring in the downstairs living area is completely laid, and one more day of skirting installation...now I just have to finish the painting of the skirting boards, and we'll be done!

Kitchenette still has some major work to do, but not quite as high a priority.

This is the theatre/pool room. Walls painted, window sills installed courtesy of Dad :), and skirting boards installed...ready for carpet installation next weekend!

Fully painted and finished toilet...such a difference from what it was before!

Completed flooring and skirting boards in the hallway downstairs as well.

Andy working hard to finish off the skirting boards near the laundry as well...so many small little walls!

Bedroom 4 downstairs, fully painted, skirting boards installed, and ready for carpet installation...it's looking so much better!

The downstairs living area looking back towards the staircase.

View of the back of the house...hasn't really changed much.

View of the pool area. The garden has all been cleaned up thanks to Andy's mum, and my storage seats on the right side of the photo (where it used to be a garden bed) have been started thanks to my dad. 

Our standard view of the house from the driveway. The rest of the side of the house has been primered thanks to mine and Andy's mums.

The front garden cleaned up and cut back...once again thanks to the mums!

So, as you can see...we're making lots of progress, especially now that we've had the parents here helping for a short time. Check back soon...we've got a long weekend of work ahead of us...hopefully we'll see some more progress!
