Any updates?

I am sure some of you are wondering what in the world has happened with the bathroom? I have left you hanging with some unfinished images and you must think I'm holding out on you.

Nope.

We still can't call it complete. We were very close to continuing through but then we had to get the vinyl floor installed. The cost was much more than estimated and it got us thinking and researching a little. The result of that was that we changed our minds! The worst thing you can do partway through a project!

We have gone with a different type of flooring that we can install ourselves! After a frustrating shipping incident, we have parked the materials up in the office waiting for us.



Because of the change we have to check under the kitchen, hall and dining floors to find out if we need to raise the bathroom floor before we install it. So, days continue to pass as even though our checklist has shrunk, so has our motivation and spare time.

All that's left before you get some pretty before and after photos:

  • Last coat of paint on one wall
  • Paint the door
  • Apply this protective coating gel to the shower door
  • Install floor
  • Attach about a metre of skirting board
That's it! How could we have left it so much longer? I think that since we're now fully functioning with everything else there's not as much urgency.

We know we have another 12 months of renovation projects (at least) so I guess we're just savouring it. That's can't be it. Since the season has changed we've been doing more cleaning up in the yard and we have a fence replacement on the agenda too so that's one excuse. I just hope that I can post some lovely pics soon! I will keep you posted.

Taranaki Rugby!

Some photos from the game on Saturday afternoon. The wind caused a few wayward kicks and the torrential downpour mid-game made the ball slip all over the place but then the sun came out and Taranaki won! They were playing Canterbury who are now behind them by one place in the rankings. We had fun and managed to walk there and back without catching any of the rain. The steam-breathing drivable mascot I don't think the photo does justice to just how much it was raining! Line out Go the 'Naki! (They are the yellow and black team.)

Not for the squeamish

Well the long hours of work and planning and helping friends demo sheds and paper shuffling and biking and cooking and eating and cleaning have caught up with us and Dustin has relinquished his right to tell his story from last week. **Note, the pictures are gross so beware if you are a little faint seeing blood... So, last Friday I had worked the early shift and was back at home on a call with a virtual assisting client, so naturally my mobile was on silent, and as soon as I hung up, the home phone rang. (This is a phone that only people who have had a part in giving birth to one of us tend to use... that and wrong numbers, we get a surprising number of wrong numbers...) Anyways when Dustin's voice was on the other end the confusion began. "Hi, I'm at the hospital. Come here now." "What happened??" "I'm fine. Just come up here." (Wheels spinning in my head...) "Are you sure? I think it will take me too long to bike because I
