Well that's a bit of a misnomer of a title. I'm not bringing anything back, in fact, it's all going OUT!! It has been 10 years of recovering from the end of my marriage and moving in somewhat straitened circumstances to this quirky place I call home. I have made do with second hand things and old faithfuls but, courtesy of my darling Mum and Dad and the sale of their house, I feel the time has come. As a result I have been able to...
1) Have my roof replaced. No more drips on my head in the middle of the night!! No more floods in the kitchen or multiple bowls in the dining room!
Here's the old roof. (ignore the weeds...that's a holiday job!)
Here's the state of the tiles....
And got this far before the weekend. As you can see, I'm having tiles replaced by Colourbond steel/aluminium roofing.
2) Meanwhile the BA and I went sofa hunting. This is my current lounge. The suite is over 20 years old and in this slightly dark room somewhat dominates. It is also getting difficult for some of my older friends to get in and out of being as it is rather like a bouncy castle.
This is my choice for replacement. It will arrive sometime after Christmas (ohboy ohboy)
And yes! It has recliners!!!!
However, in the process of looking, the BA and I discovered the delights of the Zero Gravity recliner!
This was so sensational that I decided to get one for my studio!
Studio currently. This is where I do all my creative stuff. I've recently got rid of the ugly second hand coffee table so I can do some aerobics in front of the telly, and the new recliner sofa will be green <3
3) Fence replacement starts soon I hope. It currently looks like this....
4) Window replacements will take place in November.
So that's about it I think.... stand by for updates as they occur!
