I will try to post a few of "work in progress" shots every couple of days. This way I hope to share the joy and pain that will inevitably accompany this process with all of you.
Above all the mess and with the chaos in my head trying to keep track of everything is still an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. Although we had to cut on some of the renovations because it all just became too expensive, I am busy building my dream home! I’ve always dreamt of living in an old house with high ceilings and wooden floors. A big house with lots of character and room for all of us to live and play in.
All of this is starting to become a reality right in front of my eyes. Although I know there lies a time filled with chaos and frustration (and probably a couple of tears and fights too) ahead for us, I am so excited and can’t wait for it all to be done!
I pray that God will bless this project for us and that it will all work out the way we planned. There are so many workers busy working there right now, I also pray that they will all work safe and won’t get injured in the process.
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers – I will surely need it! :)

Wow, this is soooo exciting ... I can just visualise the wooden floors and high ceilings ... wishing you many happy buiding weeks. Will be monitoring the progress closely. Warm regards
Enjoy and endure for the great end results...
Got the t-shirt on this one Mich but I promise it so worth the misery at the end of it... keep dreaming that lovely dream and it will come true!!
oooh that's exciting! all the best with steady progress...
My thoughts and prayers are with you my friend. The end result will most definitely be worth all the mess and stress. We've redone our kitchen this year and it was a very stressful time. I thought I'd never get through it, but somehow I did and am enjoying my new haven. Looking forward to seeing the progress shots and then the final completed ones too.
Good luck with this Mich, it is going to be so worth it !!!

Good luck with the building. I know the feeling, we went through it 2 years go, but the end result is worth it.

Oh man. I love doing renovations and building. The pain and suffering will be *so* worth it. Just keep telling yourself that!

Looking forward to seeing the end with you ... Building is too stressful for me and we are only building a granny flat for my mom ... going mental - one minute at a time ...
WE WILL SURVIVE - me and my meds ... tee hee ...
Enjoy the process if it means the fulfilment of a dream ...
