Progress on the gable ends

Having to strip off flakey paint, remove rot, replace with new timber, re-mortar holes, seal cracks and finally paint... So it has not been the smallest job. Getting there though... Two painted and finished and 3 to go.

Porch floor is dry & Paige approves

Played porch this weekend

Last week I water blasted the crap out of our flakey porch. This weekend I scraped my heart out... Gaz did too. Once all the paint (and i mean all 10,000 layers) had been stripped back we sealed em up with an undercoat. We also prepped the concrete steps and Gaz used some fancy schmancy grey industrial floor paint to match the concrete and should last plenty of stomps. Good effort... Shits happening!

Porch time...

That's pretty much our whole porch in my hair. I water blasted the crap out of it ready for paint...

Scrubba dub dub

We just bought a new laundry tub to go with my new front loader :)

The old tub was old and flakey, but not entirely the only reason for the the upgrade...

So we did have a top loader until I harped on enough at gaz to buy me a new front loader. All the cool kids have them and so he was convinced. Until we got home and hadn't considered the left opening door was going to mean we couldn't use our bifold doors any longer. I was definitely not going to ditch my new machine for closed doors so the only next solution was a slim line tub. So $400 later and we have a solution. Whoooop!

Manhole and ceiling = slightly warmer

Yep that would be my new laundry ceiling. Only got finishing motivation after half of winter went by and we got sick of the freezing freeze just helping itself into the house from the ceiling. Whoop one degree warmer.

Whoop one step closer

Gaz whipped out the paint brush and attempted to finish the lounge window sill we started a million years ago.
