The Extension is FINISHED!

At last the Powell's can tick off another goal, the extension is finished with the dryer being placed up on the wall to complete the laundry. Now the hard work, PAINTING!

A couple of pics and a little video of the laundry to let know what we have been raving about!

Extension and Kids

Just a few happy snaps of the extension. Stephen managed to paint the gutters which makes it look more part of the house. The glass is all in, now we are just waiting for cabinets and the plumber to finish.

On the Australia Day long weekend we took the kids to see Hi5. It was Caleb's first big concert, he was just a bit excited and loved every minute.

Building Update

Some more pics of the building to date. The bricks went up and they look great. We believe if global warming destroys the world, this part of the house will survive fire, flood and ice! The roof went on today, on Caleb and Olivia's birthday. We just hope it doesn't rain until the tin goes back on.

Let the Building Begin!

It was a mad rush when we received a phonecall on the Tuesday that the rockbreaker was arriving on the Wednesday. The shed had to be moved and the clotheline ripped up and we had a day to do it. So while Fran was at work, Stephen went and moved the shed with contents inside and ripped up the clothesline with concrete still attached. Thank God for DVDs , keeping the children quiet whilst Stephen ripped things apart. So we are up to the Pad stage now, the only delay being the bricks. End of October at this point in time. Caleb loves watching the bobcats and various construction machines racing around the back yard. Kayla gets a little spooked especially if the workers are a bit rough looking. The photos show the meteorite impression left by the rock breaker, the smooth sand pad and the wet setting cement pad ready for the bricks!
