Onto work and more walls for the lounge...
And a ceiling for the bedroom ( that's code for more aches and pains)....
This is here to show you that the washing machine is now installed with barely a millimetre to spare. We can now wash here instead of the $4 a wash at the Caravan Park where the Top Loaders just redistributed the dirt....
You don't see anything... but this is our first piece of Cornice and we are very proud of it. Only the pantry had to come out first. One step forward and two back....
Now for the installation of the high kitchen cupboards. Notice the safety required props to bring the cupboards up to the height required to install....
What a beautiful sight the new kitchen ready to move into....
Our first night at the Studio, Friday the 11th May 2012 and after showers at the Caravan Park with final Good-Byes to our new friends there, we journeyed down to the farm feeling there was too much here with a fridge plugged in with food and the tent up for us to sleep in to leave unattended. The tarp was at the front door and iron over the windows to be weather proof what would we have to worry about. John and Jenelle had the best nights sleep they had had for many nights maybe exhaustion or the feeling they were finally home. What they hadn't bargained for were the visitors through the night they hadn't heard. Rats!!!!
Early the next morning the pheasant was a lovely sight...
We had been promised that a Bobcat would turn up today but here in the wilds of central Queensland, we are never quite sure. But at 8am on our first morning he rolled up to the gate and we said come on in...
About 15 mins work for a Bobcat and about a days work for us.....
More instructions....
A view we hadn't seen before....
Around our "Pride of India" grove....
Guess what !! Our man had discovered that the trees covered in vine were still alive and we have at least 10 citrus trees in just barley alive condition. We are ecstatic because we knew some were there but never thought they would still be alive.
Behind our main shed he pushes the soil to help with drainage....
It's hard to believe we don't have to trip over rough ground between sheds...
He really knew his stuff to help us because these stacks are ready to burn as soon as they dry out. We estimate the work he did in 8 hours would have taken the both of us 2 weeks and then we would not have been able to level the ground in places the way he did....
