Home improvements - work resumes indoors

The last updates I blogged about on the indoor renovations were back in October of last year. At the time we seemed to be motoring along quite nicely and then things stopped. Partly because other things took precedence and then summer arrived and it just got too hot to be working inside. That was fine though as we got heaps done outside which is great.

Just a reminder of what stage the rooms were left at:
The new office click here
The lounge click here
and the TV room click here

Last year we had a local company quote for finishing the rooms off but they were just taking the proverbial! Such a ridiculous price involving lots of zeros, so it wasn't an option. And they reckoned it would take three men three weeks to do the job! What! No way! So Joe said he would do it himself which he is more than capable of, it would just take time. As it happens Joe was chatting to someone recently who is a plasterer by trade, he came and looked and gave a price that had a lot less zeros on the end. He started work yesterday and so far he's done this:

The TV room:
And the lounge:

..and he's done all that on his own in a few hours! Three men three weeks my arse! I reckon they hear an English voice and bump the price up! POM must mean Piles Of Money to some!!
He'll be back today to do some more, it's just such a relief to see something happening again, Joe was awake at 4am this morning he was so excited about the plasterer coming back!

More to come, watch this space................
