Living in a construction site is quite a challenge. In the mornings, getting ready for work can be like going on an adventure with a bathroom at one end of the house, a mirror at the other end of the house, some clothes in one room, others in a robe somewhere else, makeup on a dresser in a store room & shoes located somewhere else. I like to think it adds just that little bit more sparkle to the drama and excitement of a renovation project... The other challenge is managing to navigate your way through your home without injuring yourself. We currently each have a broken toe, sustained when walking from room to room and tripping on piles of timber. We also each have several cuts on our legs, sustained in a similar fashion. If it weren't for the fact that our house is slowly starting to feel like a home, we would probably be going mad but I am pleased to report that finally (FINALLY) it feels like we are making some progress.
We are using our new bathroom, which is lovely. Here are some pics:
The other good news is that the walls are plastered now, so we aren't in frame-up any more. The plaster all needs to be painted, so first coat of undercoat went on the walls and ceilings this weekend:

| Bedroom 4 |

| Bedroom 4 |
 |
| Office |
 |
| This is the office - a completely new room! |
 |
| Supervisor keeping us hard at work |
 |
| Rolling on the undercoat |
Once the undercoat is on we are painting these rooms before the floor in the office is ripped up and replaced by boards and the floor in the 4th bedroom is carpeted.
The progress is slow but steady & we're happy with that!
