24.01.2022 Core filling completed today, all ready for backfilling on Monday!

24.01.2022 Roof battens are on and the old roof, finally, is being realigned right now!! We had 50ml of rain at the end of last week!

23.01.2022 At last. The new Guest Lounge is now complete. The kitchenette tiles were the last to be done, which Andrew finished today. They are the left over tiles from the house. The black and white photos used to be in Tierney House and are all of Mudgee which I took 15 years ago or so. We hope our guests like the room and the verandah with views, as much as we do.

22.01.2022 We have been away for a couple of days and good to see some progress. Blue board going up and should be just about finished this week, roof on the verandah as well. I have collected the paint, toilet and vanity today, the electrician is here and next week will see the start of rendering outside and plastering inside. Fingers crossed again

22.01.2022 Cant say this will be my last post for a while, but maybe the last of significance....love you all! Certainly, in the most difficult moments of life you realize who are true friends or the people who really appreciate you Unfortunately, some friends will click on "like" but in reality they do not take time to read your status if they see its lengthy. I decided to post this message in support of very special people to me who fought, and are still fighting till the end with... firmness and energy. Who taught us how to live each day as if it were the most beautiful day! Who has filled the world with a beautiful smile and a sweet spirit. Now Im watching the ones who will have time to read this post until the end. Cancer is very invasive and destructive to our body, even after the end of the treatment, your body is still fighting with yourself trying to reconstruct all the damage caused by radiation & chemotherapy. Its a very long process. Please, in honor of a family member or a friend who has died, or is still fighting cancer, or even had cancer but has healed; copy and paste (not share) in your page. So I will know who read my status , please write "done" in the comments. See more

21.01.2022 Deck frame now up, hopefully roofed tomorrow. Had to get the big tree in front lopped so we could fit the roof in!! Terry Hall did a quick and good, but a little expensive, solution.

20.01.2022 Bathroom window removed and boarded read for water proofing and tiling. Yellow tongue now all down including kitchenette area. Scaffolding arriving Monday and so no more building work until Tuesday. Good progress this week.

20.01.2022 Upstairs the blue board is just about finished as is the wall insulation. Ceiling battens going in now to be finished tomorrow. Aircon roughed in. Downstairs the ceiling is just about in with completion of it tomorrow, aircon in and working downstairs, (just for the comfort of grandchildren). Lights will be cut in Friday and then we can paint the downstairs ceiling before lights and fan are put in. Good progress again today.

19.01.2022 Coming along! Roof poolside complete and the front roof is done as much as it can be until the verandah is built, which should be next week. Then doors and windows, blue board, power etc etc. fingers crossed

16.01.2022 Frames up. Found a problem with the size of the window in the kitchenette but have now fixed that! Not sure how long the roof trusses will take. Upstairs is a big room

15.01.2022 Just three courses off completion of the wall, yippee. Water proof today, core fill tomorrow, back fill Monday, we hope all goes to plan. Today we settled on Tierney House, also good news.

15.01.2022 Good progress today. Most of floor down, joists now connected to old deck and frames have arrived!

15.01.2022 Kitchenette not yet complete, but getting there, wall units in, coffee table bits still missing!

15.01.2022 Another nice day in Mudgee

15.01.2022 Today we have the carpenters, including two work experience people, the aircon guys, the renderer and the plasterers here. Front drive looks like a car park and I love it!

14.01.2022 Well, flooring is here and going up. Frames delivered tomorrow. About to order blue board and roofing. Good progress at last!

14.01.2022 A post Christmas update! The main beams and posts on the poolside verandah are now painted. The new guest lounge has had two coats of paint, one to go, and the mixed hardwood floor is being put down as we speak. This week should also see skirting boards and architraves put in. Front verandah railings and down pipes after that.

13.01.2022 Upstairs doors in, front and back! Most of the insulation done. Power runs done. Render and plastering should start next week. Good progress. Some detail is likely to slow us down but we shall see.

13.01.2022 Another great day in Mudgee

12.01.2022 Most of the roof and facia and guttering on on this side. Other side tomorrow we hope!

12.01.2022 Floor fully down, hope to have it sanded next week. Work has started on architraves and skirting a. Should be finished tomorrow?

11.01.2022 Front deck/verandah going on and pretty big at 5m by 3.6m! I hope the roof of it will go on this week with blue boarding starting next week. Fingers crossed still.

11.01.2022 Rear verandah trusses and steel posts up. I think they are planning to realign the old roof tomorrow!

10.01.2022 Hope to back fill over the back wall and on the right too and then move all that soil on the left back to the wall! All on Monday. Fingers crossed

10.01.2022 The interior walls are lined and plastered just a little work to fix edges ( no cornices) and then sanding. The exterior upper floor is rendered, textured and painted. Doors are in and power is in downstairs. By Wednesday the power and aircon should be in and on upstairs. Still lots of painting to do but will leave that until after Christmas. Have a great Christmas and NY everyone.

08.01.2022 And a nice sunset

08.01.2022 Still some work to do on roofing but coming along nicely. Roofing and blue board delivered today.

08.01.2022 Half the roof trusses now up! Still a lot of work to do to get up the other half, re-orientate some of the existing roof and then build out the verandah at the front of the extension. Onwards

08.01.2022 Lovely clear misty morning view from verandah

07.01.2022 First coat render now complete awaiting colour layer, some of the ceiling plaster board in upstairs!. This room should be light and spacious as that ceiling, at the top of the rake, is at 3.1 mtrs

06.01.2022 Well, this could be the second last update as, we hope, the next one will be the last!! Floor is done. You might see a coffee table in bits as it was sent with parts missing!! We do not yet have the kitchenette in but it is sitting outside the room awaiting installation. The wall unit will be another three weeks or so. However, we have now put in the rest of the furnishings, hung some paintings/pictures and it is coming together. Builder back tomorrow to finish off front verandah, gutter guard and bits and pieces. So it will be a few more weeks until completion but oh so close

04.01.2022 Scaffolding up! Hopefully frames tomorrow.

03.01.2022 All blue board done, renderer all set to finish next week. All insulation done upstairs, walls and ceiling. Sanding downstairs today so I can paint the ceiling, and gyprocking upstairs starting today, yippee. Christmas tight but looking good. Just no paint

03.01.2022 At last, progress!

02.01.2022 Now they are joined! Hope to have all the roofing done this week.

01.01.2022 After a couple of days and 21ml of rain!!! Blocks now at correct height, dirt levelled and backfilling just about complete and even started on interior wall for store room downstairs. If the rain stays away we should have the upstairs floor on next week!
