After:


Hubby hard at work (he didn't even realise I was shooting this picture!).....

What a bloody stupid place to put a wall! Glad you ripped it out, what a difference it makes!
And OI YOU! Stop calling me "Dear"... it makes me feel like I'm bloody 85!
Pffffft.
Or is that just an American thing??? Nah can't be, I know heaps of American girls, they don't call me 'Dear'!
Some suggestions: Tart, Chick, Mate... Chris EVEN! lol

Ha ha Cath! Actually a builder/carpenter friend of ours ripped down the wall....hubby caught the pieces, and f'd up his back :(....
but yes, we are very happy with the progress.

Yes Kerry! the Weather is absolute heaven right now.
Studio pics will be a while since we have to wait for the shed (which should start in the next week or so) in order to move everything out of the garage.
But-don't worry-you'll probably end up seeing way more pics than you desire by the end of it all-LOL!

It looks like paradise. Can I move in with you?

Our door is always open....especially if you don't mind hanging some laundry out on the line occasionally (when it's not raining of course) and maybe a little sweep and mop once in a while...hehehe-or should that be MUAH HA HA..that aside..you are always welcome to our little oasis hon!
