It has been so long since I have visited Blogland that I am unfamiliar with how it works anymore...I have tried to post some pix of happenings but have been unsuccessful.
So..there is just one snapshot that will convey Dalmeny .....Nick has arrived!!!!
He didn't have this very useful motor on arrival of course, but where would Nick be without a Truck!!!! A Horse without a Carriage...So exciting - 2 cabs, & he has fixed an incredible boxed speaker sound system made up from old bookcases that he is just trying out now.
We have already a great pile of woodends to take away- but I'd better let him enjoy his music & a joy ride first:)
Nick has only been here a month & I cannot believe what he has fixed/unscrambled !
He has been so busy ripping out rotten toilet walls, fixing leaking plumbing & bringing his mum up to date with "must haves" ( already we are wireless - but here I win 'cos I managed that one! (after many hours & with a little help from Wayne )
We have great plans for this wee house & work is already underway.
1} toilet: work in progress...new window ($10 ) & sink ($145) purchased...walls still to be lined.
2} laundrey: work in progress...at the moment excellent working area for on site building )cupboards & closed in laundrey area planned, french doors recovered from basement ( old ones from lounge ) propped up against outside wall ready to lead out to outside deck.
3}Kitchen Challenge Brainstorming ongoing...New Fridge up & running ( Best Purchase Ever! )
How to make small space work & keep soul of "wee Olde Bungalow" without spending too much?? $ Prodical Son has found kitchen cupboard catches in bargain bin 1/2 price as no one makes them anymore!)
4} Enough $ left over so that main focus goes into HUGE DECK which looks out onto beautiful vista which is already there at no cost:)
Yes, I know....Nick has ARRIVED! It's only been a month, but already we are well underway with so many jobs.
I'm Project Manager & Nick is a great listener...we are a good Team & what I love about US is that it's like he's never been away. But the thing I love best about NICK is that whatever happens he just says ... " we can work that one out Maaareeee....no worries....
P.S. In Down Time we chat about Jordy & Finnigan too:)
