mister moo is happy!

for many months now, mick has been gathering bits of wood, plasterboard, screws, nails etc.. like a squirrel gathers nuts. and for many months he has been dreaming of these September holidays as they meant that his renovations could begin. we have been in 'Truman cottage' for over 2 years now and have been very happy with our home, but we could see the need for a second lounge or rumpus area as the children grow. we were lucky enough to have a garage of sorts, two walls and then a wall of roller doors, so all mick had to do was take down the roller doors and erect two walls. i must say that in 3 full days of work he has managed to get our room to 'lock up stage' and another 2 or so days and the outside will be ready to paint! we will have to wait to finish off the inside but we are thinking that might be a December holidays plan.

there was a roller door there, now it is a gorgeous window which mick thrifted from a friends house, so that means it was FREE and i LOVE it.

here is the frame for the wall where there never has been a wall. it means now that we wont be able to see our neighbours at all... and that is the sunny side so hopefully with some insulation we can keep most of the heat out. and here it is finished! just like that. the second roller door came down to make way for the doorway.

door way ready.

this little monkey has been hanging round like a bad smell, look at the face on it! and here she is as an apprentice chippy!

here is Truman cottage the new renovations are to the far left of this picture. i will post a few more pictures when mick has fully finished the outside and we have painted it.

mick is just about to go and get our NEW CAR!!! we are all so excited and cant wait to turn the music up with out it buzzing and have the air con on low and high without it making a ear piercing whistle, drive without being embarrassed about the paint job and many other things that most people with new cars take for granted.

i will post a picture very very soon.
