Despite the absence of Peter, the work continued for the rest of the week. Despite our concerns about how we were going to live on the wooden floors after they had a first cut sand, the process went ahead as planned on Thursday. Another nice young tradesman, Shane who spent the day having a crack at our old floor boards. Our concern was that they wouldn't sand well however all good news, they will come up well.
This is the hallway that was the main concern with the black stuff on it. Bit of hard work with the sander however they will come up well.
The dining room is an mixture of colours of timber and will be a nice bit of the old character of the house when polished up. The good news overall, no new floor boards required!
The tiler was back on Thursday, Friday and Saturday finishing the alfresco and veranda.
We met another new tradesman on Friday, the brickie who started the work on the new entrance way. It is coming all together, the new entrance is going to be a great addition.
The news was that the floor sanding is booked in for Thursday/Friday on this week so we have to vacate the house. It was also suggested that it would be good if the ceilings had been painted at least. So Deputy started early Friday afternoon and has spent the weekend painting, and he has had enough of it already. Hates ceilings!! Just another step closer to looking like a home again.
Still some work to do finishing off, but it is a start.
While painting on Friday night, Deputy disturbed a visitor. Sort of thankful that this little furry friend was not around when our house was open to the elements!
