Reno- getting excited. We have done small reno's before but not this much.
Settlement is Friday and hubby is going to Bali tonight. He gets back Saturday but has to work so he won’t make an appearance until Sunday.
In the meantime I’ve got a list of things to do.
We’ve bought everything except the bathroom floor tiles and carpet (love you EBay). Not sure whether carpeting all or just the bedrooms (depends what we find when the carpet comes up).
OK the house is in Whalan (Mt Druitt). It’s a 3 bed but you now walk through the 3rd bed to the rumpus. The rumpus is 8000 x 3750 so we are dividing 3000meters off the end to make another master bedroom. That way there will be 3 beds and a study (old 3rd bedroom) and 2 living areas.
Here’s a list I made. SIL and friend are coming to help me Saturday.
Hubby will be there Sunday morning.
Remove oil heater and tank- Scrap man (back of garage)
Remove Air con- Scrap man
Remove kitchen sink- scrap man
Remove laundry tub- scrap man
Remove kitchen- skip
Remove doors- kitchen and dining- skip
Remove laundry cupboards- skip
Remove bathroom cupboard and mirror- skip
Remove bath- skip
Remover linen press- skip
Remove handrails all rooms- store in back room
Carpet up (not rumpus room)- skip
Steam wallpaper- dining, lounge
Spray ceiling-lounge- scrub.
I think that’ll keep us busy.
I’ve been busy this weekend making food to put in the freezer to keep us going. My daughters wedding is exactly one month from Friday so I’d like to be finished before then (fingers crossed). If not I have another weeks holidays after that. I’m paranoid about getting paint in my hair (I ALWAYS do). Nails are getting cut short this week. New ones on before the wedding.
I’ll post photos when I get a chance. I put one of the nicotine soaked wallpaper in the lounge.
If anyone wants some reno experience give us a yell.
