Today at the cottage renovation it was more insulation and plasterboarding the ceiling. I had Bella's help today and Dan was on the tools, doing the serious work.
I am tinkering around in the little sunroom/bedroom, repairing windows and walls.
I created a dado wall trim and found some old original floorboards and pine wall panelling/weatherboards and am going to use them to create a nice wooden look decorative wall trim. It will all be painted, not sure what colour though, most likely

Today at the cottage renovation it was more insulation time and plasterboarding the ceiling. I had Bella's help today and Dan was on the tools, doing the serious work.
I am tinkering around in the little sunroom/bedroom, repairing windows and walls.
I created a dado wall trim and found some old original floorboards and pine wall panelling/weatherboards and am going to use them to create a nice wooden look decorative wall trim. It will all be painted, not sure what colour though, most likely something safe. But because it's a small room, it needs to be bright and all one colour to expand the room. I am retaining the original hard wood timber floors.

It's not very cold outside, but when the rain comes down, and clothes are hung on the rack, it's a good time to get all cosy with a log fire

What is this? Found on the property, a pump with two tubes at the bottom of it. What is it used for?

What is this? I found it on my property, it looks like a feeder or something. How does it work and for what animal?

Yay! It's preserving time...feeling grateful for friends with excess harvest, as I currently don't have an orchard myself

I am never not doing nothing...in the background I have been making a vege garden fence, out of pallets and rocks found on the property.
I haven't finished yet, but it's getting there
Colour; Woodland grey
Materials; pallets, metal posts, screws, rocks

Yay, I have secured a builder, let's get started on the renovation...ensure the house is stable, close the gaps and daylight add new wiring.

Whilst moving rocks on my bush retreat for my next project, I found this broken one with a cool pattern inside. It looks like a map of Tasmania, even with markings similar to our zones..pretty cool
