We’re nearly ready to start. We’ve found a bank happy to lend us the money to do the house. We’ve now just got to find somewhere to live for a while and completely clear out all the stuff under the house!
We’ve rented some storage space and this afternoon we made a significant dent in the ‘pile’.
We also have to get rid of the hardwood timber battens and doors. If anyone in Brisbane might know of someone who could use them, please let me know. The timber is in very good condition and was put up in the last ten years. We’ve also got to get rid of the front and back stairs too if anyone’s interested in them.

GREAT NEWS! Hope everything starts flowing and working out just as you need!
Did you find a home for the timber battens?
Yes!!!! A lovely man and his son are renovating their house in Leichhardt (Ipswich). The money came in handy, it covered our first weeks rent.!!!!
Perfect! We will likely do something similar under ours 🙂
