We moved out at the beginning of April and our possessions are spread between our rental house, the shed, the garage and a very large disorganised pile in our bedroom. Then they started in earnest on the inside.

Below you can see where the kitchen used to be, with the footprint of the island bench.

Internal plaster started disappearing. You can see the old study, soon to be a pantry. Floor boards have been pulled up and are being prepped for the cabinet maker to use. We still had windows at this stage, but not for long.


Above you can see the old splashback. That rear wall along the hall is about to disappear.

There you go. No walls to the north or the west. At least they put down some board to walk on.

Not at all how we had the room furnished. Aren’t builders funny!
