really nearly done.

we have been working like idiots. too hard. up until midnight most nights. its ridiculous but lev has an interview in Toowoomba on tuesday so we have to be out of here by sunday morning. we had some great friends pop round this morning to help lev out with some tip loads, drainage work and concreting. all our bowen friends have been so helpful and constantly offering to do jobs, or take the kids, or bake us muffins.

I've spent most of the past few days painting. Painting everything. It's time consuming and boring and the photos dont show much. lev has been amazing. he's got a list that fills an A4 peice of paper and he's nearly done everything on it. i'm so amazed by him.

Here's some photos from the past few days.

lev finished the picket fence to cover the neighbours ugly
asbestos wall. and i was tasked with painting as he built.

the kids helping out. bless em.

friend's baby Seth sleeping on my beautiful kitchen floor :)

i painted the front gate. i think i preferred it as bare timber.
julia has paint on her face hahaha.

our 'window' seat without the window.
we ran out of time and thought a mirror might suffice.

lacquering the arch. it looks good but soooo time consuming.

after loads of bogging and painting the old kitchen finally
looks presentable.

freshly painted stairs. these are the stairs i broke my foot on
and abel broke his arm. stupid stairs.

the concreting lev did today.

haha, couldn't resist.

so thats our saturday. this avo lev is putting drainage in from the backyard to the road. installing an aerial and powerpoint and i'm packing the house up still. tomorrow morning before  we leave we're going to take loads of photos of our finished house and our last blog should be filled with before and after shots. hooray!
