The great outdoors

We started the process of getting a new roof for the outdoor area early
on as the original one was so low that Greg was having to duck at
certain points when walking around. It's been a slow process but this
week the final work has been done (apart from lights etc.) - looking
forward to getting the outdoor setting and BBQ out of the garage and
back into use again!
These aren't the finished photos, but near enough that you can see the
huge change.

Progress photos

Well the laundry is basically finished apart from some cornice and painting - loving all the extra storage and the hidden hanging rail! The vanity, bathroom and toilet have been tiled. Painting, shower screen and mirror have been put in since these photos - just waiting for the bath to go in and that section of the house will be done too.
Lauren is very keen for Daddy to get the bath done - a few months of showers only and she's hanging out for a bath.

A doorway to...

well the garage actually. Our new house had no internal access to the
garages so one fine Saturday morning Greg decided to create one (as you
do). All done in a day, including the lovely timber step from the left
over timber from our floors in Toowoomba - very impressive and very
useful! Thanks Greg.

Cookies...

The girls all love cooking and will use any excuse to get busy in the
kitchen - choc chip cookies are a favourite (thanks for the secret
recipe Nanna!). Lauren found the perfect place to keep herself and her
toys amused while they were cooking - the brick planter box near the
front door that we haven't pulled out yet also doubles as a boat, or
cubby house, or dolls bedroom, or..... you get the idea!
