The renovation is now finished. Very quick and close to budget. Now I have to make the repairs (mostly patching and painting) caused by the lift. Mostly happy, except the builder obviously wasn't listening when we explained how we wanted double glazing for noise abatement, and overlooked the fact that floor level would be 30 cm above ground level when quoting. The lack of on-site management during asbestos removal also resulted, finally, in the loss of 6 cubic metres of topsoil it took me 10 years to develop.
Kitchen then bathroom next, though I think it will probably be a few years on.
Bernadette has been made an Associate with her firm, she deserves the recognition and continues to work very hard. My latest library contract has finished so I have devoted myself to the garden and getting the house in order again. Order for the house and ordure for the garden.
The ducks are sitting and I have moved the drake to a second pen. Provided we don't get any thunderstorms we should have ducklings in a month.
We are looking forward to interstate visitors being able to come and stay with us later in the year.
