roo, I'm so happy for Miss 6! That's the thing about kids, we worry like mad and they heal so quickly. She'll be the best in her gymnastics class, you'll see. I will have to pass on that walking bridge, or you go first, ok? judy! A mosquito! Too funny. How did you presentation go? Did they LOVE the wallpaper? MP, great job on the midget's walls! Who cut all the wood? It does look really good, has boo mappin seen it yet? I'll bet she loves it. Olldtrazz, sorry, I know nothing about sisal rugs. But I know about flokati rugs and I want one! I can't imagine how one would vacuum a flokati and I do know the dog would eat it so I don't think they're practical.

Hi lovely lady's. I'm still going around in circles with the floor plan.. I've just found out that I can't put a toilet on the Right hand side of the house as it woukd require a very complicated and expensive trench to connect the existing sewer pipe to a new toilet on the Right hand side. So a bathroom woukd need to stay on the left. I have a structural engineer taking a look T the load bearing walls next week.. Any other suggestions would be great appreciated. I thought about leaving kitchen where is is and knocking the wall thrpufh to make sauna and dressing room one room and turning this into a dining room. connecting the kitchen with the dining room with an archway. but this looses some cupboard space on the left wall and with the current kitchen only being 3 metres wide it's a bit too small. The other challenge is I would like the laundry door relocated to the kitchen wall instead of walking through a bedroom to get to the laundry... I'm stuck..

Hi Sarah, hope you enjoyed your travels last night, that's something we have spent our lives doing plus living in different countries. Do look into the attic room/s they are lovely and the Velux skylights very unobtrusive, look great and if positioned correctly take care of venting any hot air, as I mentioned ours were pivoting ones and could be locked open in several positions. I much prefer these to dormer windows, you don't really notice them. The stairs were built off site and lifted into position and installed, built in. At the time we did ours a very good friend a builder did the same but just completely opened the whole ceiling space right out towards the gutters into a large bedroom play study area for his daughters, also using Velux windows. Glass ceilings, like Velux windows have been around for years, believe me I know, we're both getting older. Velux windows can be used as glass ceilings in opening and non opening configurations. I would love to see you keep the outdoor loo as well and updating the old shed into a new connecting space to the house, perhaps a glass breezeway. I will have another look at your plan again over the weekend. I love your front iron gate as well, auto sliding driveway gates work really well and would really fit with your carport. My brother in law put in a tall timber sliding gate at his last home, lovely cheers
