Our new house... woo hoo!

Well its finally OUR house! woo hoo! Got the keys following settlement midday today and spent the arvo with tradespeople quoting for new carpet and paint throughout house. $12,000 later.... aghhhhh. Will all look great when finished though. Funny thing is that our painter is some italian dude who sounds exactly like the Godfather! lol So when he called to make an appointment to meet, I thought I was in trouble with the mob! lol

Above is the fantastic view from my kitchen window... I think its of the mountains. Quite serene as you can hear the birds, rather than cars. The other photo is from our back fence. There is a top balcony to the left overlooking the gardens and the distant views (paint railings look old cause it was raining, but they are a nice colour when dry). The bottom level outside is a full patio where we will be putting bbq and outdoor dining setting.

Soooo much still to do, but its a lot of fun... fortunately am getting some time off work to do. Stay tuned for some before and after shots of the more shabby parts of the house.

If you dont hear from me in a while... its prob cause Ive pissed off the painter! lol
