WE HAVE A PLACE!!! Yes people - for the first time in our married lives we have a place to live and call our own. Michelle's sister has family who own a resteraunt which had an apartment up above it, which wasn't being used. They offered us the chance to stay there for free if we would put the work in to doing it up, and then a greatly reduced rental price when it's done which would include bills! Amazing. So we thought we'd post some pictures so you can follow the progress as it happens. Mike is working so hard on it and Michelle feels so grateful that he is just so darn handy. Is there anything he can't do. So far, nothing.
The grand entrance - imagine Kate Winslet, decending the stair case in a ball gown . . . it is seriously going to be that grand!
The view onto the landing at the top of the stairs
Wait a minute - before we could even blink, Mike had built a stud wall - you go Mikey!
The living room - it looks much nicer when all our junk isn't piled up in there!
The spare bedroom - I tried to add a little feminine touch even amongst the debre!
In our bedroom - Mike just HAD to see what was behind the wall - he has dreams of a fireplace in our room - wait - did he say in EVERY room? Ambitious.
Still in our room - I really didn't think he was taking this one, but revenge will be sweet!
The soon to be kitchen.
How can you glamorise this shot - it is what it is! (Yes we do spell that with an s!)
So there you have it - a work in progress, but it is progressing so quickly now, and we will soon be posting finished shots of our new palace! Yippeeee!
Revenge :-)
