P.B

The plaster board is now on the walls and ceiling.  We have been told the stairs are going in tomorrow, which I am really looking forward to.  Not sure what the next step is after that, but at I  assume it will be painting.  We are still expecting a Feb/March move in date.

Wall Insulation

Wall insulation is now in.  Camera has a flat battery so no photos at this stage.  Also the top level now has been rendered.

Hope you back a winner on the neddies, cup day.

T.V Console

Rob & I have been searching for a TV console for a couple of weeks now.  We wanted it be Australian made but also at a reasonable price.  Today we finally found the one, and have put it on layby.  Sorry not the best quality photo!. 

I put some lights on layby today also.
The first light to go in the upstairs rumpus room and the master bedroom.  The second light to go in the spare room and the boys bedrooms.  After building our first house and putting up with the dog bucket lighting shades, I could not bring myself to do that again.  These two lights are DIY's so won't need to pay an electrician to install them:).  Down stairs we have downlights so no crappy light fixtures to worry about here.

Ducted heating going in today :).

Bamboo

 

Our new place is boardering a proposed school.   I started investigating different hedging plants to act as a barrier.   I decided Bamboo would be the best choice as it is not too wide taking up too much land.  Much to my dissappointment I discovered that Bamboo plants are very expensive and I have a lot of fence to cover.   Luckily I stumbled across bamboo seeds sold on ebay. 

 

Before everyone freaks out I have selected a non-evasive variety - Borinda fungosa (syn. Fargesia fungosa) known as the Chocolate Bamboo.  It grows to 5 metres tall. 60 seeds for $30.  So much more affordable.
