I know this is kinda crazy to have two fridge freezers in your kitchen, but we had the room and I got a really great deal on the fridge freezers so the whole thing came in under $2400 which for 1050 litres of fridge freezer with water and ice is unheard of. The guy at the store couldn't believe it was going in a "brisbane home" his words "I just didn't think people in brisbane had fridge freezers this big" I said u haven't met my family! I think my mum has 5 fridge freezers at her place, closet hoarders ;-) </div>

Anyhow if anyone is after a fridge freezer I got the one with ice and water from masters - their RRP is $2400 but everyone sells them for around $1800. Masters reduced them to $1150 the weekend before last as they new model came out (version 4 I think) so they were clearing out the 3's so I managed to get the floor stock one for $1000... Mum got one too. I got the left hand one and joining kit from Queensland appliances for $1350, they are quite helpful and just at Bowen hills so local. </div>

... and are now up to the part where we need to choose a style of door/drawer profile. After much deliberation we have decided to go quite simple here's our inspiration pics and plans: </div>

We have also been shopping and researching Kitchen Aapliances like crazy. I had a hard time deciding between the Smeg 90cm stand alone and the Ilve:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UhwETdPuhzg/UcOcKK62MAI/AAAAAAAAClI/I7F1s71qCw4/s1600/photo+2%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UhwETdPuhzg/UcOcKK62MAI/AAAAAAAAClI/I7F1s71qCw4/s400/photo+2%255B1%255D.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CsBkmKCMKzI/UcOcIeHer4I/AAAAAAAACk0/dAk_0fHn6X4/s1600/photo+1%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CsBkmKCMKzI/UcOcIeHer4I/AAAAAAAACk0/dAk_0fHn6X4/s400/photo+1%255B1%255D.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
They were both around the same price so finally decided to go with the Ilve T906. I was going to buy the floor stock model from the Brisbane showroom on sale for $3500 from $5000 but ended up finding E&S Trading had it for the same price and we got a $950 kitchen gift with purchase pack - love getting stuff for free! Here's the link if you are in the market: <a href="http://www.estrading.com.au/ilve-90cm-electric-oven-with-gas-cooktop-t906lmp/w1/i1059448/" target="_blank">http://www.estrading.com.au/ilve-90cm-electric-oven-with-gas-cooktop-t906lmp/w1/i1059448/</a> and here's the link to the redemption promo flyer <a href="http://www.ilve.com.au/pdfs/93-ILVE%20Gourmet%20Pack%20promo%20May%202013%2060-90%20Landscape.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.ilve.com.au/pdfs/93-ILVE%20Gourmet%20Pack%20promo%20May%202013%2060-90%20Landscape.pdf </a><br />
<br />
So we now have an oven - very happy lady!<br />
<br />
Next we started looking at dishwashers. I was adamant I wanted a fully integrated dishwasher so you couldn't see it was there, I am not keen on them looking like a feature unless it is a super duper fancy one. Last night we finally settled on the Ikea integrated dishwasher, it was $800 and is made by Whirlpool. I must admit the main reason I purchased it was the standard 5 year warranty it came with, I joked with the lady when we bought it and said I should just tell my employer to start paying my pay direct into their accounts! feels like that at the moment. Anyhow here's the Ikea dishwasher:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So as you can imagine all of the above has kept us super busy at the moment but whilst doing this we have also been working on our walk in wardrobe, fence for the herb garden, front batwing doors and fixing the cladding on the exterior of the house! So busy...I'll leave with some final pics of what else we have been up to, sleep when your dead so they say...<br />

As mentioned above I am currently obsessing over Fireplaces. We have a internal wall in our lounge room that I bought a mantle for a few months ago. We had planned to pop a mirror in it once installed but as winter approaches and the house gets cooler by the day we have been toying with the idea of installing an electric or gas fireplace. There are pro's and con's for each; Pros for electric is price (around $800 from recollections) and requires little to no work for installation - cons it expels a dry heat and doesn't look that great:<br />

Gas fireplace... pro's looks more realistic expels a much greater more pleasant heat, con's will be time consuming to install and costs twice as much (at least). We would likely get a style similar to below so that Huddy can't get to it - open flames freak me out!<br />

I would love to hear anyone's reviews of either style- i think at the moment we are leaning towards gas but I will likely obsess a little more before making my final decision...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04492175005696773830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656188336761177914.post-42159414892307728042013-05-14T19:27:00.001+10:002013-05-14T19:40:58.193+10:00Literally obsessed with everything oliveaux is doing...About Oliveaux - an exert from their webpage...<br />

I have however found time to do a little shopping so thought I would share some of my bargains...<br />
<br />
1. Our new hallway nook with our new bench chair "borrowed" from mum and dads arsenal of antique wares.<br />
<br />
2. Close up pic of hallway with new Lovestar queen of hearts vase, old looking lock sourced from trade fair, antique blue and white plate and other treasures I have been collecting for years.<br />
<br />
3. Another angle<br />
<br />
4. My new jasmine trellised pots next to the gate on our back fence. Pots from masters ($30 I think) and jasmine from ikea $20 - bargain they are around 90cm high and already trellised for you!<br />
<br />
5. My stash from the brown trading company sale, all stock was about 80% off. Pretty sure they have some things left - their store us at Salisbury for all the locals.<br />
<br />
6. My new orchid again from ikea - $25 another bargain and brightens up my bathroom nicely.<br />

A couple of years ago I stumbled across an artist named Shane Bowden and fell in love with his Andy Warhol esque pieces. The price point is very reasonable $500 a piece and when I ordered mine they had a special so was even cheaper again. I picked up the large piece (1m x 1m) last week and couldn't be happier, now just have to decide where to hang it! Here's some of his pieces - my ones the first... <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMlEn5Y9aa0jfDENk7iroRyal439PEn5IKXH5AKNHrG8QacY_eB39KMD-Bx9YJ3x4RF1zX9rU1Fja_ws1LwF4YRH8TOEOASAJj0U8IH9fS8jtlVN4DEr7fOaBVBY4RXJPenXm4npNRPyY/s640/blogger-image--217521099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMlEn5Y9aa0jfDENk7iroRyal439PEn5IKXH5AKNHrG8QacY_eB39KMD-Bx9YJ3x4RF1zX9rU1Fja_ws1LwF4YRH8TOEOASAJj0U8IH9fS8jtlVN4DEr7fOaBVBY4RXJPenXm4npNRPyY/s640/blogger-image--217521099.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsaJPfPRHJuISh4x9EYUwLe-tUPCAkTTYPQ-RUR50xLyiwq7KInEA_SkyzhmXoaTkkb45ihOTIKcONTB_0suBawNjlPyIL9nXdnitCH_pwhYB5rKrYfpqjPhaM8Ue1UAjMUa458cVQcs/s640/blogger-image--440583429.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsaJPfPRHJuISh4x9EYUwLe-tUPCAkTTYPQ-RUR50xLyiwq7KInEA_SkyzhmXoaTkkb45ihOTIKcONTB_0suBawNjlPyIL9nXdnitCH_pwhYB5rKrYfpqjPhaM8Ue1UAjMUa458cVQcs/s640/blogger-image--440583429.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbc1lT5dHOPWNujMTKavugwUWqN7GFZ7ecMFjElFHPk1lbRomy_AbDn1wk_8VX-01uRjFAmKJGWrnOIJ7pBRAmMp4MOLLvPoD3hyphenhyphenEfJ4uelgXuAsHKUfUopJZca8PoyDGOW1I_QoNsWUo/s640/blogger-image-2005022779.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbc1lT5dHOPWNujMTKavugwUWqN7GFZ7ecMFjElFHPk1lbRomy_AbDn1wk_8VX-01uRjFAmKJGWrnOIJ7pBRAmMp4MOLLvPoD3hyphenhyphenEfJ4uelgXuAsHKUfUopJZca8PoyDGOW1I_QoNsWUo/s640/blogger-image-2005022779.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm_HVnyzF6Jl9QjVWzAHTgqxAr5jmPcmSS2nS_37fNZJRLWj4VzhSGLL5m2XA9OXV9m-kDJ982MM_g1VNYUzZeol03RRZPASnCSldjvdcL5XQUEX9aBkRsi0tflbpm1VmC5MCyGZiEnk4/s640/blogger-image-323734040.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm_HVnyzF6Jl9QjVWzAHTgqxAr5jmPcmSS2nS_37fNZJRLWj4VzhSGLL5m2XA9OXV9m-kDJ982MM_g1VNYUzZeol03RRZPASnCSldjvdcL5XQUEX9aBkRsi0tflbpm1VmC5MCyGZiEnk4/s640/blogger-image-323734040.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxStNiuoRk8FS69ggZVHxgT16HRUhJEk6mxp3e0VmXF_ncFO4ASmPVVY2i9_wymjZe9p9YlJ6Fa81PWSlpzSWOe2aDi0BjyDFKrvVWbpUpOCYscQ3Supht0DstFTTQOUasH3ajQPiw-qQ/s640/blogger-image-2040497092.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxStNiuoRk8FS69ggZVHxgT16HRUhJEk6mxp3e0VmXF_ncFO4ASmPVVY2i9_wymjZe9p9YlJ6Fa81PWSlpzSWOe2aDi0BjyDFKrvVWbpUpOCYscQ3Supht0DstFTTQOUasH3ajQPiw-qQ/s640/blogger-image-2040497092.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ikYvLg6vElJj87tzWQ2VfH0y47Jj4nNpPyfag6Bxy5GtNpJcamn4yHhtiEfS6EzN3iqt94bBwcThIICaKy07SUCyKxJSj-l7SGm6rlR-J7lCDKl2lc5W8-NvPGiEe5mgsPTnn7lEt2E/s640/blogger-image-309520667.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ikYvLg6vElJj87tzWQ2VfH0y47Jj4nNpPyfag6Bxy5GtNpJcamn4yHhtiEfS6EzN3iqt94bBwcThIICaKy07SUCyKxJSj-l7SGm6rlR-J7lCDKl2lc5W8-NvPGiEe5mgsPTnn7lEt2E/s640/blogger-image-309520667.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHflslXAC3TO9OxVG0ebhA00RG7r186Ey2Bf101FwJnN9oU2svxhSdcl04LOWhB554PRqk7L7AMdtdAwHoSL-dvRmodY1Lrc3eDPtNDRhouaj9QzfT1BX83KQbzj1xOPZokloqmAJlkbo/s640/blogger-image-515766757.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHflslXAC3TO9OxVG0ebhA00RG7r186Ey2Bf101FwJnN9oU2svxhSdcl04LOWhB554PRqk7L7AMdtdAwHoSL-dvRmodY1Lrc3eDPtNDRhouaj9QzfT1BX83KQbzj1xOPZokloqmAJlkbo/s640/blogger-image-515766757.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04492175005696773830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656188336761177914.post-32742200233228887752013-05-04T14:45:00.001+10:002013-05-04T14:45:55.781+10:00Everything must be white!!!Beware: if you stand still in our house long enough you may be painted white, you have been warned! <br />
<br />
Here's some pics of our latest spray gun adventures, I heart spray guns cuts down painting time to about a fifth of regular brush and roller time. We have managed to paint the fence, outdoor setting, bookcase, mantle, veranda doors and most of our grass! Oh well still worth it... The grass will grow back. Here's some pics, we used vivid white by dulux. <br />

<br />
We have been super busy with parties, school fete preparations, building a fence and life in general and I cannot believe it has been 3 weeks since my last post! <br />
<br />
On the house front we (and I use that term loosely) finished the fence on the weekend. Although the official handover has not occurred as its not yet painted and we need to buy and install a locking mechanism for the gate, but it's good enough for me! In the words of my sister "that damn fence is still going on?!" Not anymore :-) although now we love it so much we are considering continuing it down the neighbours side, and there's still the subject of the front fence - but for now I think we are done (for at least 1 weekend or two lol).<br />
<br />
So the overall cost came in around $900. Which is significantly less what we were quoted to do the job (quote was around $3k).<br />
<br />
Here's a breakdown of where we spent the money:<br />
- fence pailings purchased on gumtree $75 for 150 1.8m treated pine, these were a bargain and all straight and in v good condition<br />
- gate $180 from gumtree, guy paid $400 for the gate to be made but when he built his fence it didn't fit so had no choice but to sell it, it's pretty amazing 1.8m x 1.2m LOVE it!<br />
- rails, sleepers, concrete and posts (hardwood) purchased at bunnings $450 in total (approximate)<br />
- hinges $30 <br />
- Post caps purchased at finlaysons, these were pretty hard to find and finlaysons were the only ones with nice ones ( I don't love the round ball ones I wanted square ones) anyhow they were $20 each and come in many different sizes, I think we used 7 so that was another $140.<br />
<br />
Total cost about $900 (not including beer needed for the worker) so much better than the $3000 we were quoted! <br />

<br />
Initially we thought to reinstate the existing chain wire, mainly so we could keep the views to the back property. But after much indecision we decided a pretty timber fence would be best.<br />
<br />
Jeff has been frustrated with all the intermittent rain lately so he hasn't come as far along as he would like, but hopes to finish it this weekend (weather permitting).<br />

I called the gas company asking them to turn the gas on, thinking they would then realise the pipe is broken and as they are responsible for the st to meter piping fix it. But, they didn't! They simply turned it on and walked away. Faced with the possibility of blowing up the house and possibly the street with a great grandparent who is constantly here and is on around 50 smokes a day, I rung them back and asked them to cut it off. Begrudgingly i told them that I had a hunch the pipe was broken, their reply: "until we had an oven or gas water system installed to use as evidence the gas wasn't getting through their hands were tied". Grrrr - annoying! So we figured we would just hang ten for a bit wait for the ground to settle (and not look newly excavated) and try again down the track. Fast forward to last week when we were approached by workmen explaining they are replacing all the lines in the area! As u can imagine we were ecstatic, we were dreading being made to pay for the new pipes and now it's being done for free! Brilliant, funny how things work out... Oh and another bonus huddy had a front row seat to the "bigger" (digger) action all week. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin1UVYXxqpJF-hhSvNHWf7emsgwKzsIdZJWgEWUT6RYroPbJDSEPsp7V6kRSrO2r8htBQTM3Yety0tM-38CuerugrWsG83Tsl2sEqpbShRy-mGpVifVqZQCZcTnRc_qb7fwjUu2f2KfC8/s640/blogger-image-349367011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin1UVYXxqpJF-hhSvNHWf7emsgwKzsIdZJWgEWUT6RYroPbJDSEPsp7V6kRSrO2r8htBQTM3Yety0tM-38CuerugrWsG83Tsl2sEqpbShRy-mGpVifVqZQCZcTnRc_qb7fwjUu2f2KfC8/s640/blogger-image-349367011.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhca9Vd7h9Gm-ij4ETI3alHmurh-KmoQf-7RcD0k5nwHA1arhOtqu1tgtVYmS2N47LeFgMlaj5Qmgfra8voe3XE15plQni5mBCoe7CpSlH1mtAS-ZqDqAq_LhCG8G2J8jbnHi8JUF64ECQ/s640/blogger-image--796002156.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhca9Vd7h9Gm-ij4ETI3alHmurh-KmoQf-7RcD0k5nwHA1arhOtqu1tgtVYmS2N47LeFgMlaj5Qmgfra8voe3XE15plQni5mBCoe7CpSlH1mtAS-ZqDqAq_LhCG8G2J8jbnHi8JUF64ECQ/s640/blogger-image--796002156.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8-hFJ8FVuzo6J1DWmjuEnIrK7CxIGb9Mek9doQpCH2ZZzp6TS9fM44wiXG6QlNu9fdIf5ExGntb4368FFBlzNdqhZgZRuwsF53v1RBev5U6MIHl_D_6g-uMGfCRoo2TYWQb3ZCZ8qGK0/s640/blogger-image-62316580.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8-hFJ8FVuzo6J1DWmjuEnIrK7CxIGb9Mek9doQpCH2ZZzp6TS9fM44wiXG6QlNu9fdIf5ExGntb4368FFBlzNdqhZgZRuwsF53v1RBev5U6MIHl_D_6g-uMGfCRoo2TYWQb3ZCZ8qGK0/s640/blogger-image-62316580.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj1dbkcChEt7i4m1OTOdom_kZBBmhAp-M99WdPuPdj7RkRFgqTTUUN3E6bNgOuLrX7oXceWEqef-zF3DelUkL4quB4_VCHelODH0a3LcfSX6sHM8VIxgOrmTPuN5lKyuP3nHS8vQmP6AI/s640/blogger-image--1954332828.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj1dbkcChEt7i4m1OTOdom_kZBBmhAp-M99WdPuPdj7RkRFgqTTUUN3E6bNgOuLrX7oXceWEqef-zF3DelUkL4quB4_VCHelODH0a3LcfSX6sHM8VIxgOrmTPuN5lKyuP3nHS8vQmP6AI/s640/blogger-image--1954332828.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKafMuNk5S8G5ATvVonO5jkVsQOcWOPDJOOx7HxNN8nlhdAkXYQ0mgSwBJMyslvuL2eL0sgpl7RG_jNpIHlupLm1xNF93Tge6tXLDewrc2T-VPXOU0Ol_WgKYUDX1zhfDUMFqafHTMtKA/s640/blogger-image--623657940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKafMuNk5S8G5ATvVonO5jkVsQOcWOPDJOOx7HxNN8nlhdAkXYQ0mgSwBJMyslvuL2eL0sgpl7RG_jNpIHlupLm1xNF93Tge6tXLDewrc2T-VPXOU0Ol_WgKYUDX1zhfDUMFqafHTMtKA/s640/blogger-image--623657940.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04492175005696773830noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656188336761177914.post-73113904199519384582013-04-10T16:50:00.004+10:002013-04-10T16:50:56.756+10:00Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres's Ranch<div class="fbTitle">

In 2009, the couple bought a property that De Rossi believed would keep
DeGeneres occupied for some time: a ranch north of Los Angeles with
multiple structures, including eight cabins. "I thought it might take
Ellen five years to finish the project," De Rossi says, "and she did it
in one. It was shocking!"</div>

Situated in tony Hidden Valley, the 26-acre property was the estate of
actor William Powell in the 1920s. Later it became a monastery, then a
rehab center. DeGeneres thinks part of the film<em> Seabiscuit</em> was
shot there. "When we bought the place, it was a professional horse
facility," she recalls. "But it was really not taken care of."
Nonetheless, both women were immediately seduced by the landscape. The
property abuts the Santa Monica Mountains and features giant boulders
and oak groves. There are roaming deer, coyotes, mountain lions, and a
number of feral cats that the two more or less adopted.<br />

De Rossi, who was born in Australia and moved to the U.S. in the 1990s
to pursue acting, has her own on-site passion: riding horses. She has
two horses here, a Hanoverian called Maeby—named for the daughter of her
character on <em>Arrested Development</em>—and a Dutch Warmblood called Mcy (pronounced Macy). "But she looks like a cow," De Rossi says, "so we call her Moo."</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't think she has the stables to herself, however. "There are times
I'll come to the barn and see a beautiful piece of early American
furniture where my horses get groomed," De Rossi says. "I have to
explain to Ellen that I need to fit a horse in there." DeGeneres did
manage to sequester one stall and turn it into an elegant sitting room.
It was there that De Rossi wrote part of her 2010 memoir, <em>Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain</em>. </div>

How long the couple will stay in Hidden Valley is anybody's guess, given
DeGeneres's penchant for picking up and decorating anew, but there's a
good chance that this place may be for keeps. De Rossi seems
particularly attached to it (both her mother and her brother's family
live nearby). "If I find something else and can see having a new
project, I'm open to that," DeGeneres says. "But I'd have to fight
Portia, because this is her dream property. This we may just hold on
to."</div>

And I want to use his electrical skills to the max by installing heaps of exterior feature lighting (something our last place lacked). You can find similar gates at Woodworkers but they are pricey around $2K for 2 Driveway gates and 1 pedestrian gate.... So the search continues.<br />

For like ever!I have been very very slack in the blogging department of late - partly due to the lack of progress in the house and partly due to our incredibly busy schedules of late. Working full time and looking after a two year old (who seems to be picking up every bug going around atm) is tough and I have Jeff to help, can't imagine doing it alone! <br />
<br />
Being so busy has left little time to tackle any big jobs so we have been pottering with some smaller things whilst still unpacking the last of the boxes. I have been also finding a few bargains around the place - it's fun to dress up all the white walls we have.<br />
<br />
Here's some of my new treasures:<br />

We need to replace or repair the back fence and also install a side gate so that we can finally get our dogs back. My poor parents not only had us for 8mths but also have had to look after our two poodle cross puppies. So as they have over stayed their welcome, top on the priority fence this week is to secure the boundaries. Here's some recent pics of the backyard:<br />

However, I am concerned that this may look a bit rubbish next to the newly installed timber fence so I am torn. Either way I am searching for a cute gate to install in the new back fence so that we can have a secret garden type look happening :-)<br />
<br />
Here's some more pics of the backyard we finally decided on a timber fence so it's uniform but j is going to dress it up a bit. <br />

Hope to get our back fence secured over next week or so and build a side gate so we can get the fur babies back from their long term vacay at Nanna and Poppy's - I'm sure Huddy will be most excited to have Lenny and Lulu back full time.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04492175005696773830noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656188336761177914.post-36876204610218046442013-02-18T14:59:00.000+10:002013-02-18T14:59:07.925+10:00Week in photos...Well we are in!!! <br />
<br />
Can't believe it but tonight will be our 6th night sleeping in our house and even though we are still living in shambles we love it.<br />
<br />
Aside from moving everything in we have managed to pull up the last of the remaining lino in the dining room, set up some wardrobes, install a hot water system, make some temporary bench tops and unpack about 40% of the boxes - not too bad of an effort. Oh and biggest news of all huddy is sleeping in his big boy bed - amazing! Kids are so adaptable it's incredible... <br />
<br />
Still on the immediate to do list: <br />
1. Assemble ikea wardrobes <br />
2. Re paint floors in bathroom (prev used jet dry satin finish but have decided it marks to easy so want to try a coat of gloss)<br />
3. Finish last piece of decking on front deck so we can swing the batwing doors <br />
4. Finish the painting on the front deck<br />
5. Finish the roof in the dining room<br />
6. Finish the painting inside<br />
7. Build a back fence and side gates<br />
8. Finish kitchen<br />
9. Decide on and buy an oven<br />
<br />
Not so immediate future to do list:<br />
1. Driveway<br />
2. Front stairs<br />
3. Front fence<br />
4. Back deck<br />
5. En suite<br />
6. Landscaping<br />
7. Remove external cladding and paint exterior <br />
8. Replace roof<br />
<br />
Here's some pics of the house so far... <br />
