Time to introduce you to our house, methinx! Well.....this is it! It aint much, but it is home and we love it......well almost! There are just 3 bedrooms. Pete and I share (funny that, hey? For a married couple! LOL) the bit larger than average sized main bedroom. The girls are sharing their average sized room, but the clincher for us buying this house was the boys room! having 5 boys has been a problem in the past....trying to fit them into an average sized room has been a pain! No longer, though! Their room is massive! At just over 6m long and a little under 3m wide, there is PLENTY of room for all of them in there!
Of course, with Pete and his passion for 'improving' things, the front of the house doesnt look like that right now......we dont have any grass out the front! Pete decided not long after we moved in to 'fix up' the front yard and got a bloke in with a bobcat and levelled everything out. Hence no grass. The back yard is the same, but for totally different reasons! There just has not been enough rain lately to water the grass! And sprinklers can only do so much.
Inside needs a bit of fixing, too, which is being done slowly but surely. I kept complaining about not having a linen cupboard, so Pete fixed that by taking the wall out in the hallway, taking a little room from our room and making a large cupboard! It is excellent! I thought that it would become a junk cupboard, but it hasnt! Next on the list is to fix the girl's bedroom.....or will it be the bathroom.....or the kitchen...? I guess I will find out when he gets to it, hey? LOL
Yes...this house is a fixer-uper, but it is home for the moment! Convenient to schools (right across the road), shops (5 min walk to the nearest supermarket) and just around the corner from uni!
