With superb timing, my old mate Diana who lives around the corner from us and her partner Robynne have gone south for two weeks. And we are camped at their place. Wahoo!
The builders and all the other trades are now in every room of the old house except the living room and we can't yet get into the new wing. Living room is stacked with boxes and furniture and the electricity is off. But we have a haven.
Ripping off the gib in the writing room.
And looking in the other direction back into the house through what was our two adjacent bathrooms.
Every room has something going on and the centre of the house is gutted. Mish is 'yeah!' and I'm OMG.
Tim's standing in what was the little loo - knocked out so we can now walk through to the new wing.
Just walked around to the house to get a couple of things and for Mish to ask and answer a few questions (a daily occurrence). We're days away from being able to move into the new part. Overnight we've had the most rain we've had this year - we haven't lost a day of the build to rain.
That's nice, because yesterday we planted a persimmon tree. Mum grew this from a seed over ten years ago and it's been in a pot since then. She passed it to Mish about five years ago and we'll grow it for leaf colour just outside her new studio. Root system is good, leaves are about to break and it's going yay rain right now.
