Happy Bday
Happy Bday Dana! I tried to call, but your phone was off. Left a few messages. Couldn’t get hold of rod either…
Home Alone
Well here I am, bored and home alone in Cherrybrook while Andy is home alone in our new house having a great time no doubt. We might as well be states apart again…
Speaking of states apart, my parents and Mal went to Europe last weekend and they’ll be road tripping their way around there for a month while i take care of the house. They touched down in Paris on our Sunday afternoon and the latest I’ve heard is that they’re in Lourdes and worrying about their car burning up. Chewy is hanging out with me in the brook and I’ve/he’s been keeping him/me company. Poor thing doesnt like the cold much and I’m a bit of a sucker when it comes to letting him in. Andy came for dinner tonight, he almost stayed all night when I managed to get us both locked out of the house. It’s not as ridiculous as it sounds, there’s a bit of wood that falls down and stops you opening the door from the outside and yeah we had to call Amila to come let us back in. Lucky Andy has his phone on him, unlucky that the only useful number he had was Amila’s mobile phone which died as soon as we rang it…
Anyways, I’m off to watch some Foxtelly. Night nights.

I think you have been conned, Chewy lived in Bordertown for a long time and he lived outside all the time, except when Andy let him in the flat, which was not often, because of Doggy gas problems and as u know its a lot colder down here than in Sydney. Anyway its nice to know he is being well looked after and loved
Love to you from RodComment by Big Rod Carter — July 1, 2009 @ 9:58 am

Yeah, but he’s getting old now… Plus I think you’ll be surprised how cold it gets here… That said, Mala and Andrew bought him Poly Kennel, might not be insulated like the one i built him in bordertown, but it definitely has a lot less holes :-p

He’s getting old and I’m easily conned so it’s a bit of both really. Chewy’s definitely getting a bath this weekend, he’s becoming a bit stinky and that’s not counting the gas problems.

Trudging along
Hey Yall,
It might just be my puter, but it appears our first video blog is sound only… anyways, that’s smily’s department, too hard for me to figure out!
Now what picies have we got for ya… Ooh, the spa box is nearly ready for the spa!
Nigel helped me put in he ceiling, and today I put some base coat on the join and screw holes!
Chewy came to visit his future home today even though the fence hasn’t been fixed. His adopted family are in Europe for a month, so we brought him over so he wouldn’t be lonely!
Nigel + House 2
Progress is good, shower alcove has been sealed, with a recess, more villaboard is one, and more recess boxes are ready to go in!

House + Nigel
Nigel is here, and has been buzzzzy!
Shower recess is in and primed ready for the mortar bed tomorrow
Some villaboard has gone in to allow the mortar bed to seal properly.
He has also cleared up the junk pile out the back which couldn’t have been any mean feat!

Sorry Andy and Sumali, Jamie Durie is out of the country at the moment. We are flying in Nudge instead, so we won’t bother with a camera crew.

Reno Progress
More stuff is being done…
The alarm and Modem have been installed, with all wiring in the wall cavity;) Neat FTW.
The bathroom floor is starting to go in. FYI 19mm Compresssed sheeting is very bloody heavy

I have to say, Andy is doing a very good job and he’s having a great time. Thanks to all the people who have offered to help us out we’ll no doubt take you up on the offer at some point.

Thankyou I had a lovely day, went to tea at Maitland with Jo, Wayne and Mia.
Hows things? You seem to be doing quite a lot, its looking good, great job.
We have booked to come and see you in August, I think Michael, Kate and Isabella were hoping to stay with you that weekend as well. Maybe Mala and Andrew might be able to help?
Anyway still plenty of time to organise something later. Bye for now. Love you both

My mum’s already called dibs on having Joanne stay with her cos of the baby haha. There should be plenty of room for the others, I think Michael and Kate usually stay with Andrea but if they need more space let us know. My mum would probably love having Isabella over too.
