A farm house on the way into Bundaberg.

The Millequin sugar mill.

I used to work for it's sister mill at Bingera. Bingera has now closed down and as far as I'm concerned it couldn't have happened to a better place, I hated it there.

The floor sheeting is all done.

We have spread out all the gravel, we'll need at least one more truck load.

Water delivery for our friend, she got two loads and we got one just to give us something to use when the plumbing is done. I haven't paid for water since we did the same for our first two tanks about ten years ago, and doubt I'll ever have to do so again.

Did someone say we need another load of gravel?

The kitchen will have a vinyl floor and the rolls come in 4-meter widths, so while we have a clear area in the lounge room we lay the roll out to cut closer to the size required for the kitchen.

Then move the sheet into the kitchen, which of course had to have the furniture moved out first.

Geri is our resident floor layer.

All done, and what kitchen furniture we have moved back into place.

Time to build a carcass for the kitchen sink.

Most peole build kitchen cabinets with melomine or some other form of chip board, of course I do most things in steel.

This is the basic layout of the rooms.

There will be dividing wall and some cabinetry in the center to house the fridge and freezer. And that old sofa will go before long, we got it for free and it's comfortable enough I guess, but too large for the room and anyway short people's legs don't reach the ground on the two recliners.

We love the pond in the Zen garden.

Rain rain go away...at least untill I get the downpipes install to the new tanks.

We found this little guy on the road near it's dead Mum.

At this age he might survive but most don't I think due to shock. But we take him to a local wildlife carer and she seems to think he had a good chance.

Comment  ::	Rod Yeah some vinyl makes a big difference eh? As for running out of hobbies, yeah right Robert No that will be lined, there is provision for windows on both sides but I'm not sure about them yet. Geoff Sometimes dropping in once a year is enough But I'm trying to be more frequent. Yeah the place is being transformed lately.
