Well we picked up the keys to our new house. We underestimated the amount of work that needs to be done! Did a measure up and realised that our 'plan' by the real estate agent wasn't exactly accurate. So the original floor plan for are renovation has had a bit of tweaking.
Also managed to clear out some of the furniture left in the garage, but unfortunately the nice old cupboards are covered in holes, eaten by something. No wonder when the garage didn't really have a proper floor and they were sitting on dirt. yep. The garage floor has some bricks, timber sheeting and carpet sitting on dirt. nice work folks. Will be glad when it's all gone!
As the 'garage' and sheds in the back are covered is asbestos, we've organised asbestos removalists to come in next week to take it all away. the only problem may be that the carpets and sheeting behind tiles in the kitchen and bathroom also have asbestos. shit.
Had a look in the roof and we have insulation, yay! not laid perfectly, but the house feels very, very cool. and very hot in the roof! and found the hot water tank in the roof above the hallway. What the? So definitely getting new gas hot water.
That's it for now. exhausted! Will slowly fill in details and take some photos.
