Keiths garden


Keith got his first tomato a couple of days ago. All looking very lush.

Ready to paint!


Bruce had finished by the time we got home so all ready to paint now.

Wind farm near Ballarat


Driving grandma home we could see a new wind farm in the distance so drove to see it close up. Apparently there are going to be well over 100 turbines covering a length of over 10km when finished. They are huge close up.

And now the new ceiling is up!


Some pretty slick work there with the sheets in place by 11am - excellent going for a mornings work

View from the other end


The plasterers labourer hard at work;-)

Bruce working on the final bit


The last bit came down and just a bit of tidying to in and only just 9am

Half the ceiling is down


Despite my fears that the ceiling would fall at any moment it did take some real muscle to get it down

Empty room


This room has not been empty for 25 years so hope it will look heaps better in a few weeks

Testing out!


This is by way of a test - how cool that I can send things from my mobile, now to check how to add things via the desktop as well. 

Just thought you might like to meet Otto who will no doubt feature occasionally in this blog - his goal in life is world domination but he hasnt got much further than the bedroom thus far.  Still, he keeps on trying!

The sitting room empties


Gradually taking everything out to replace the ceiling

The new study


We are moving slowly with renovations but everything is gradually getting into the study while we attack the living room
