So, we have painted all the walls, changed all but one blind to white venetians, changed all the flooring (used laminate - but would love to pull them up and stain the wood since its Hardwood underneath), Renovated the bathroom & laundry.

Planted basically a whole new front garden!

Wow it looks great. You have done so much. How long has it taken to get all that done?
You wouldn't even recognize it from the before photos

It took a week to do the bathroom, a year (lol) to do the laundry, a week to do the kitchen, a weekend to do the planting of the front yard, a weekend to paint all the fences (THAT was hard work), a weekend to do all the painting in the lounge, hallway and kitchen/dining room. All over the past three years, as money became available

We have so much more to do though, getting a blind for the dining room, rendering the front of the house, building a horizontal merbau fence out the front.

Getting a 32"plasma for our room....what else LOL!

I am not surprised it has taken that long. You have done so much.
Did you paint the fences with a brush, roller or sprayer? I have painted way too many fences as well- so I understand what a pain it is.
I'm surprised your DH hasn't made the TV a priority- I know mine would.

We have a 42" plasma in the lounge that he plays all his games on so hes satisfied with that for now lol.

We used a paint brush for the front fences, and realised how terribly hard it was and how long it would take us to do the yard, so we got a spray and its SO much easier and quicker. Very worth it!
