I should have written an update a few weeks ago but we've been very busy.
With a bit of help from our friends we painted the entire inside of our 5 bedroom house. An undercoat onto the raw Giprock and two top coats. It took about 4 weeks and even now there are door frames and window frames that still need another coat. All the doors are yet to be done but their original colour matches nicely with the colour scheme.
The tilers took about a week. They ripped off the skirting boards and broke some, which was a bit stressful for me but the floors do look amazing. The long plank ceramic tiles really do look like wooden floor boards.
The carpet was laid in a few hours the day before we moved in.
So now were just back to normal life. S walks to and from school every day, L enjoys playing trains in the train room and R is being toilet trained. This last year seems like it was forever ago.
