Up Up and Away
Well, my builder called me on Monday night to say that the house raising (which was scheduled for Tuesday) was not going to happen until Wednesday (today) as the lifters were now off to another site on Tuesday :o( He was pissed off as they didn't tell him until late Monday so they were at a loose end on Tuesday as my reno is their primary job + he had to put back other tradies and the bobcat fella etc.....
Anyway, get down to the house this morning (as I walk my dog nearby) and they actually did come and do some work yesterday.....the house is up off the stumps by about 6 inches...
I didn't take any pictures this morning as you can't see much but will do so later today as it should be noticably higher......
I'm a bit of a misnomer. I like to be girlie, have a penchant for fake fur but like to get my hands dirty...I've renovated 2 homes and enjoy sculpture and pottery. I also love pop art (especially Roy Lichtenstein). I'm married with a lovely husband and two beautiful children (baby girl, toddler boy). I have a PhD and Masters (exercise immunology, public health) and worked in health promotion until redundancy late 2012. My primary role at the moment is being the best mum I can be. I love to curl up with a good book, have a good debate and bake yummy goodies..yes..I have a sweet-tooth. I love to be active, especially weight training swimming and walking (previously netball) but am now restricted due to calf and foot problems :o( I love animals. A favourite past-time was daily walks in our local nature reserve with my beautiful (but old and now disabled) dog, Gemma. We also have a younger dog Diesel. They are both sooky la-la staffys. I have 2 burmese cats who now keep my mum company and my husband's stand-off-ish cat, Ducati, lives with us. I have also foster-mothered possums. I'm a messy virgo who has tidy spurts. How's that for a mix?
