The old house

We planned to live in the place we bought for the 6 months required to get the first home owners grant while we planned the build, although this in the end turned out to be closer to 18.
Here are a few photos of the little gem

What we were interested in

Ktichen with sloping floor and NO BENCHTOPS

this was tiny, and west facing, so boiling in the summer!

They really showed the place well for the sale didn't they!

Outdoor laundry - J's domain

We actually made this room our bedroom, as the other one faced onto the street

It looked much better with new curtains and our funtiture

Really - who lived here?

We made this into a Wardrobe with help from ikea and about $300

The most pleasant room in the house

Angus's much appreciated yard (you can't see his shed)
