Plastering Finished and Making Arrangements to Move onto Property.

This is our new arrangement: The shipping container for us to move ALL our gear into this week. And the caravan on the right which we will call home for the next 2 months (no more I hope!).
Nettie starting to move things from our old house into the container.
The plasterers finished off the walls and cornices today. We will start fixing out (thats architraves, door jambs, doors etc) and the balcony balustrades tomorrow!!
The living room...
We've bought a few bits of furniture from the Central Coast Tender Centre, which is like a gigantic garage sale where you bid on items like in a silent auction. They have some great second hand stuff and we also bought these timber slabs from there this week. These slabs will be used in the house and laundry. The narrow ones are Camphor Laurel (which is an invasive, undesirable, introduced tree) and the laundry bench will be made with the silky oak slab (we like silky oak because we already have some antique furniture which is made from them) from a private local property.

The new 10m x 12m carport has been ordered and it will house a mezzanine on which the power system (inverter, batteries etc) will be located. The carport is going to be next to the shed/stable... but more on that later.
