Pre Reno Update

Yay, only have to level, not restump!

Also, maybe don't have to replace all the floors!

Some welcome news!

Brrr!

It is chilly!
After the big rains last night, pleased to report that only the skylight leaks.

binnawhile?

Um, about 4 years since my last blog.

Thought I might blog about the house rescuations.

Didn't take before shots but might post photos from the brochure.

And can take some of lovely dirty windows and putrid benchtops, but might leave the toilet bowl to your imagination. We're getting a new one through the water supplier replacement programme.

Stupidly looking forward to the new toilet! It's gonna be the second environmental improvement (the first was flyscreens throughout the house - on the windows anyway!).

Oh, yeah, and will post photo of shower that took 3 (and counting) passes with the most noxious bathroom cleaner I could pass by my environmental conscience. Can't use it though, it leaks.

Gotta go, the girly is waking up!

Before you accuse me...take a look at yourself

Just a bit sick of hearing men harp on about how PMS is all an excuse for being a complete bitch.

Finally did it - I bought the speedcleaning book.

Just as I thought - one must be anally retentive to write a book like this! The author even gives tips on how to order your wardrobe - in 5 obsessive steps! You will end up with your clothes organised in order of type, colour, warmth, and sleeve length - all at once!

There are some useful tips though, don't get me wrong. It's just that the speedcleaning book is about fitting more cleaning into the same amount of time! I could end up with a house that hasn't a dustmite or a spider or even a germ in sight - all through using bicarb, vinegar and the powerful vacuum created when I take off my pants!
