Renovations

Our "internet house" has mostly lived up to expectations - as in, it's on a large block, has lots of trees and a house, which is very well built.  The only thing which wasn't quite expected was that it is in desperate need of a re-paint and to have new floor coverings!!

Mike finished painting Fraser's room the first week we were here and is almost finished the second one.  The floor coverings are going and attached is a photo of Mike in action, tearing up the carpet in the dining area attached to the kitchen.  It was quite a job as the runner boards along the edges of the rooms were nailed so well a hurricane couldn't even have torn up the carpet.  I made a trip to the hardware store and bought a "wrecking bar" - which Mike rather liked.....

As the cricket didn't start until 1pm (it's in Perth which of course you knew.....), the stereo was playing Neil Young's latest album and thus needed to remain in the room. :-)
