Another trip to Rowie and Trev's this evening. Their carpet was laid today and we went around to help move the heavy stuff back in. They finally get to sleep in their bed for the first time in weeks (the big luxurious ensemble, not the smaller slat bed). The lounges are back..no more sitting on beanbags or the floor! We managed to work in between shower bursts and the stuff that is left is mostly small stuff they can carry in. Although they now have to unpack everything, at least they can begin to settle into their lovely refurbished house properly!
Since Christmas, they have ripped out walls, rebuilt some of them, ripped up carpet and tiles, stripped wallpaper, totally painted inside, disposed of load after load of overgrown garden shrubs, resealed both bathrooms, replaced doors, installed a new wardrobe, extended and rebuilt the linen press, and that is the stuff I can remember offhand!
After we had finished moving all we were going to for the night, we sat for a few minutes and I remembered to snap today's pic. It is of Declan stretched out on their new carpet (in his karate clothes after class, making the new carpet smell like sweaty teenage boy!).
Well done guys...the end of renos is nigh...until next time!
