One of the big decisions for the renovation was whether to put in a fire. We don’t really need one for heating, but we liked the idea of one for coziness. We tossed up between gas (expensive, polluting) and electric (cheaper, less heat, not as pretty) before landing on a portable ethanol fireplace. It arrived today, and as luck would have it, it’s a perfect cold, grey, rainy Sydney Autumn day. This is pretty nice… 🔥

Week 7: Now that the plumbing fixtures are in, rendering can start! The builders have started covering up the bare brick and concrete, and patching where they chased in cables and pipes. We also decided to remove the visible cornice in the kitchen, so it’ll be gone everywhere except for our offices and the storage closet. They also put in the wiring for our feature lights in the living room. But even more exciting to me is the fact that the scaffolding on the Unilodge building at Broadway is finally GONE, after like 10 years I swear! 😍🏠 #renovation

Week 5: Not a lot of visible progress. They poured a leveling compound to help smooth out some of the dips in the floor, which took a while to set. They also removed the old A/C and started installing the new units. They’re also building in a bulkhead for the new kitchen pass lights. 🏠 #renovation

I frogged my gradient scarf for the 3rd time and started over. I’m still not sure what this yarn wants to be. This pattern is meant to look like gingko leaves, and I’m liking it so far! #knitting 🧶
