What is going on there??

hmmm... something is happening at our block.... First a tap arrived... then the plumbing went in!

Then the builders sand arrived!... oh gets stuck on your shoes...

Today the concrete reinforcement arrived... and the power box! YAY!:)

Flat sand piles look more exciting from here:)

I am super excited to visit my new house everyday to see the progress:) Although obviously at some point it won't be quite as exciting:) But after more than a year of waiting we are super excited for even this progress! YAY!:)

More working on the cabinet....

Such a project... who knew it would be such as epic task... well I did:) Here is the latest pics of the apothcary cabinet we have been working on:)

At this point I have a feeling it isn't going to be finished before I go back to work in a week... hmmm I guess that's ok right? right? :)

The top holes are open, the bottom ones are drawers and cupboards:) Tomorrow I will be patching up all the holes and making everything nice and smooth for the first primer coat:) Yay it should look super nice:)

My kitchen has handles!

Check out mah handles! hehe I attached them:) They are GRIP handles from ikea and at a sweet $5 a pair how can you go wrong??
I picked them because they would not only be very neutral and simple but also because you can't really stuff up their installation... like i could with a handle on the front... I would probably make them all angley.. and not in a cool way...

With the grip handles I attached them using the width of a piece of sticky tape as my measurey guide, I then used my electric drill to put in some holes, using the actual handle as a guide and then screwed in the real screws... took me all of 10 minutes to do all 12 handles! yay! and so technical with my sticky tape... hehe

Building furniture.. YAY!

So..... I found an AWESOME website http://www.knock-offwood.com/ . When i found it I tried to call everyone I knew who would care... no one answered... but that was ok! I got busy choosing the first thing I would build!



After buying a station wagon it was the perfect opportunity to fold down the seats and put wood in the back! Unfortunately the bunnings man cut the wood incorrectly! But its all good... just meant my shelves were a little bit longer and a little bit shorter...
Here is Suki checking out the supplies... she is intrigued...

So there was some man help... Al's Dad instructed us on the first set of shelves... the amount of wood made two! So I made the second set on my own!

Suki was impressed. She had a go of sitting on both levels. You can see here we added a cross bar thingy to stop the wibble wobbles... The next set I had a go at not using the cross brace... it seems ok... Father in law may be doesn't agree...

And finished! Sanded filled, primed and painted! And already it has gone to my sister's new bubby's room:) And she is filling them with fabric boxes to keep stuff in:) And my second set... is still nude of paint... but in use.. so that is ok:)
