See the 2 wires sticking out for the 2 x feature wall lights (to be above the bed)??? They are just above white plaster join - well they worry me - they need to be in just the right spot so it doesn't look off centre... hmmm... I hope we get it looking alright...
~ looking out a window in the media room ~
~ the media room electrical point / holes ~
(I know, I know - thrilling stuff :)))
~ the main bedroom light switch wires / hole ~

Anyway, there you go...
Due to this being our record of the building journey - even the less exciting elements like photos of power point holes, are documented in these posts...
In spite of this, I hope something in each post may still be of interest for those of you reading this!?...
Oh well, at the very least, it is a real depiction of building - where you can easily find yourself getting ridiculously excited over the smallest bits of progress - simply because it is PROGRESS.... moving forward IS GOOD!!!!
(Waiting, waiting & waiting will do this to you...)
If you are getting impatient to see more interesting photos... I'm with you!!!!
Bring on the "hugely exciting steps" just so I can share them :)
(and so we move in soon as possible :)
Cheers :)
Saw you on Picket Fence and had to come check out your adventures! I'm impressed with the scope of the project, and it looks like it's coming along well - I'd be way too intimidated to start such a big project with little kids at home! :)
ReplyDeleteIt all looked great during construction and I bet it looks great when it was finished! I hope everything is done now and that you are living in a comfortable place. If I may ask did you use a scheduling system to keep track of the work and progress? Whenever I make renovations, I keep track of the work using software, so that I could properly monitor the progress and adjust on the schedule properly.

Hi Lashawn, thanks for your comment... No we didn't use a scheduling system... Other than taking a million photos of every step of the way... Being new to the "building a home" scene, I'm sure we would do some things differently if we ever did it again... I think I would be better at paperwork maybe? Anyway, we LOVE where we live now... and one day I will go and finish this blog properly... one day...
