In fact...too big for the $60 urban back yard whipper snipper (well, really an edger). Steve said that if the whipper snipper was human, he'd be giving it a big pat on the back for going above and beyond the call ... http://www.tredegar.com.au/?p=276 The painters have started and it is looking fantastic! Today the sanders arrived to do the floors. Really starting to happen now! http://www.tredegar.com.au/?p=273 Thought I should update the blog with at least a few photos so show how far along thing are.  We now have a kitchen, bathrooms, hot water service, driveway and a pad for the shed. We are, for all intents and purposes, finished.  Just a few things like getting power, water ... http://www.tredegar.com.au/?p=263 As we stood on our verandah, looking out at the land and the kangaroos, we noticed that two of them were having a fight! These photo's don't do the boxing match any justice ... they were really getting stuck into each other including some significant kicks to the body.

That, and a small kerosene heater. The house looks more and more finished every day. No big changes this week except more rubbish ... http://www.tredegar.com.au/?p=251 So, thanks to the builder (and Mum), we have widened the stairs at the front of the house.  We can't believe what a difference it has made to the whole look and feel of the house the verandah.  It's a little bizarre that we didn't do this in the first ... http://www.tredegar.com.au/?p=218 Sorry for the delay.  So much has happened and a lot of work has been done to the property, yet the changes are not as obvious to the naked eye anymore. The really big major changes have really all happened now, and most of the new stuff is happening on the ... http://www.tredegar.com.au/?p=213 We had our first sleep over this weekend and it was VERY VERY cold. We made sure we were well equipped and had a small kerosene heater and several layers of doona and blankets. On Saturday, there was a Home Show on in Bendigo so we went over for the ... http://www.tredegar.com.au/?p=201 We met the lovely Spicers (Shaun and Vicki) recently and they gave us a little tour of their place including where the tornado hit. I finally found a reference and article online - click here to have a read and to see the quotes from Shaun. They told us a harrowing ... http://www.tredegar.com.au/?p=197 So, today we headed up to the property to do a couple of measurements.  We were not expecting much today so planned a 15 minute visit to measure up where we want the cupboards in the laundry...and then head back for a lazy Sunday afternoon. AND....like many other visits, we found ... http://www.tredegar.com.au/?p=184
