Tuesday morning time to say goodbye to my Nan & Ma. It has been awesome spending time with them and showing them around the area.

When we got back to Herbert we had a large debrief. Mum got us thinking about our second stage and if that is really the direction we want to head in. There are lots of decisions for us to make about our houses with its specifications. We will need to focus on getting that done soon.

There has been some progress made with the Bedford. I have got the stain done on the replaced floorboards.

Rowan has attached the last windows. I painted them green. You won’t see them a lot with the iron but thought it was easier to paint them now.

It took a good 7 hours of sanding for these floors. I even burnt a sander out and had to replace it. The floor hasn’t been oiled most likely since the 60s. It is very dry and splinters easily. It is going to take a lot of oil. It soaked up the linseed oil like a sponge.

No one informed us or the builders that the roof came to site on Tuesday. So we have had no builders all week! On Sunday we went to check out where they left it (not where the builders wanted it). However we have it now and the roof people should have called the builders or mitre10 to let us know.

While we were here we did the crop swap.

It’s Monday, we have procrastinated for as long as we could. Let’s start making some decisions about our houses! I have locked in the lighting plan. Now to get the bathrooms and kitchens done!

Kitchen light that will be seen in the picture window. Will also had LED strip lights under cabinetry.

Another sneak at more lights!
