Jen & I have been struggling to get moving on these cold winter mornings. We even had ice on the Landcruiser windscreen a few days ago.
The Mandurah Reno house has been progressing along, I would guess there is another 5 months of work until it is ready to become Team wiljen's new "Travel Home Base".
Jenny checks out the progress.
Sand Pads for the extensions.
It's great to see it coming together, lots of work involved, glad to have the experts taking care of things. If it takes me 11 months to complete a VW Kombi interior refit, how long would it take to do a house.....5+ years ???
Concrete Slabs laid. The weather held things up.
Leave the slabs for a couple of weeks to cure.
The Sh*t Pile is getting bigger.
Uh Oh, we need to install some retaining before Peel Fencing will do the boundary fence.
Lots of obstacles in the way, like a couple of the neighbours car wrecks that don't have wheels or axels. Lots of tree roots & lime stone under the ground as well.
The Living area & Kitchen have been gutted. It took two blokes a couple of days to jack hammer up all of the floor tiles.
The walls in the old Bath Room are ready for removal.
Bath Room is now a lot bigger, laundry will be relocated on the end of the new Studio Room.
To the left is access to the Main Bedroom.
Main Bedroom has been made a bit larger by incorporating bedroom 3 & turning the rest of bedroom 3 into a Walk in Robe/Storage area.
The new Walk in Robe/Storage area has been framed up.
We have also decided we need a little break away, so are heading for the Eastern Goldfields for a week or so.
Dixybus is nearly all packed & ready for her first multi-day road trip in 3 years. We are both really looking forward to the change in routine & scenery. I'll post an update in a week or so.
Quick Update Wednesday 20/07/16:
Stopped by the Mandurah Reno house yesterday to pick up some camping gear & surprise, surprise. We now have bricks & a new wall.
