“How is your renovation going?”

A common question we are asked at the moment… A question asked by interested friends, the Electrician hoping to finish his work off, and the Glazier who would like to return to take a measure for the new VR Art Glass splashback.  Our reply…

“The renovation is going…slowly.”

It was January 22nd when the first new cupboards were installed into the kitchen.  (All two of them!  With many more still to come.)  Almost one month down the track… please find the ‘in progress’ shots we can share with you.      

The Joiner we are working with creates very fine work.  (A craftsman is actually how we think of him.)  He is detailed, particular and downright fussy in fact.  Not something we feel the need to harass him about…. his fine work will become our home to enjoy for many years.  (I just hope it isn’t years before he is done!)   

At this point in time… there is a renovation cliché I will grasp onto, “the results are worth the pain.”  I am assured when it is all said and done, we will forget the disruption, delays and the dust.   Here is hoping there is a kernel of truth to the cliché.
