However, there is good news to report. We decided recently to give the house one last big surge of effort before summer comes at which point we will cease with big reno projects and just do some 'family time' some pottering, visits to the zoo, beach, family, friends. You know...living a little. With the 'kind-of' end in sight, our spirits have been lifted. I took the kids to my mums on the weekend so that Ben could tackle the front weatherboards and start the front fence. Once that front of house looks a little neater we will ease into simpler times. I can't wait.
Here is the house before the weatherboards were changed, complete with fully restored original windows and a new (old) fully restored entrance way and door.

Half the weatherboards up.

Our little Victorian dream starts to take shape.
