A few years ago we had a <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1093212137362205810#editor/target=post;postID=6200132385865316381;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=0;src=postname" target="_blank">Bennett's Wallaby visit</a> our front yard looking for green grass in a hot dry summer. He only stayed a day before moving on and we haven't seen him since.<br />
<br />
We recently added to our backyard wildlife list when we disturbed a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmanian_pademelon" target="_blank">Tasmanian Pademelon</a> in the back garden. It seemed pretty unhappy to see us and we assumed it also left the next day. But a few weeks later we found some pademelon poo, then we found that some of our newly shooting grass had been nibbled down very low (it's hard to photograph grass close up)<br />

and we also noticed some foot prints in the new grass patch<br />

and the track where he hopped away after being disturbed.<br />

We think he is hiding out in the thicket in the bottom corner of the garden. There are fresh signs of him every few days and we have had the occasional sighting (although he only comes out when it's almost dark so photographs have proven impossible so far). It also means the kids haven't seen him yet, much to their disappointment.<br />
<br />
It really is great having wildlife like this in the middle of the suburbs and we would be happy for him to set up camp permanently. We will have to take some measures to protect the new grass until it gets established as apparently the young green grass is the yummiest stuff. We've started watering some of the established grass so that it also gets some tasty new growth. If the grass keeps getting munched it may take a few goes to get the cover that we want but we'll get there.sofia and otto's playgroundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15627954718506448697noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093212137362205810.post-58426115547562497752015-11-28T07:14:00.001+11:002015-11-28T07:14:57.431+11:0047/52<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are a few things still to be tidied up, particularly outside the house but the inside is done. The last few days were focussed on the big issues like exactly where the towel rails go and what height to put the feature door handles.<br />
<br />
We got possession of the house back yesterday so we have taken lots of photos of the house looking beautiful and new and clean. The next few days we have to pack up our rental house ready for the move on Monday.<br />
<br />
Lots of photos of the house and not so many words today. This photo shows the front door and the unfinished path and driveway area.<br />

The kitchen looks pretty good with a few minor things to be fixed like replacing the white power points with black ones and taking the sticker off the oven. The benchtop/splashback was a bit experimental but looks really good. <br />

This high window lets in winter sun and has a nice little view of the roof of the old house. <br />

There are so many types of wood around the house. All of the old floorboards have been polished and the wood in every room looks different. The hallway has four different types of wood including the new section.<br />

This is the new section seen from the steps. The door normally sits against the wall but is partly closed for the photo. Note the mix of old and new light switches at the meeting point of the old and new houses.<br />

The old kitchen has been turned into a bathroom and a new door to the back yard. This room is very dark and we'll see how the colour goes. This door is just where the old oven was.</div>

Across from this is a wall that was meant to be left unpainted, but there was a bit of a mis-communication and the painter started to cut in around the edges. We're still working out what to do with this. They are really beautiful old handmade bricks.<br />

We are still on track to finish next Friday and the floor sander was working hard today. Things are really close now and the builders are working on the final details so it's difficult to find any photos that show the progress. We are down to the big decisions like door colours, positioning of lights and finishing off outside. This means there are less photos this week and you have to look harder to spot the differences... although the difference between the first two photos should be fairly obvious. <br />

Both the toilet door and the bathroom door are painted yellow.<br />
The orange and the yellow colours have been carried over from functionally similar doors in parts of the house that were demolished.<br />

Things are also going on outside the house. The trellis has been removed from around the verandah and unfortunately it couldn't be repaired. We've gone instead for this mesh which has been painted black and which you can sort of see in this photo. The idea is that the sandstone footings of the house are more visible. The posts will be painted white.<br />

Overall the verandah is progressing. The electrical cable has gone, the footings and supports are being stabilised and the rotton wood is being replaced</div>

But the biggest change is that the brick steps have now gone and the new railing has been installed. This might take a bit of getting used to. <br />

Here is one of the windows that will house a seat and as you can see, the finishing touches need to be added. <br />

These are the seats that go in the windows and double as storage drawers. They are sitting on their backs so the open side in this photo is actually the top which gets a wooden cover, then some cushions. The side facing up in this photo is the front of the drawers. <br />

There are lots of little things going on like finishing off this door frame - and obviously the corner window next to it. <br />

In the big room where the new wall was installed the bookshelves have been fitted. This photo doesn't really give the impression of scale but they will hold a lot of books.<br />

The bathroom is progressing with the vanity due to be installed in the next few days on the left hand side of this photo. The bricks on the wall are very old and are being painted and left as a feature.<br />

The electricity supply was switched over this week. The wire now goes to a pole near our driveway then underground to the house. The old wire was removed so there is now a clearer view. <br />

In the next few days the kitchen cupboards will be installed and then the floors will be sanded throughout the house later next week. We are expecting to finish two weeks later than initially planned but that means we will be moving back in early November. sofia and otto's playgroundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15627954718506448697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093212137362205810.post-92019313155925486292015-10-01T19:27:00.000+10:002015-10-01T19:27:13.974+10:00Simple Pleasures #12 - spinningOtto has found a new way to enjoy our backyard swing - Ian captured this video on the weekend.<br />
<br />
Just after filming this (after spinning for a while) Otto came off and staggered about drunkenly, getting up and falling over a couple of times. (Un)fortunately the camera wasn't rolling for his post-spinning antics.<br />

This is a kookaburra sitting on the electricity wire which is soon to be removed. But don't worry - there are lots of other places for them to sit once this wire has gone. Apparently they have been around quite a bit during the build. <br />

The outside of the house is getting a coat of paint so first it needed to be cleaned. <br />
<br />

The new floor is in the kitchen and dining area. <br />

<br />
The sunroom is also looking pretty good with the old carpet removed and floors sanded. The floor is actually in two halves. There was an original sunroom which was a closed in section of verandah and then later on it was extended further out. There are other signs of how it evolved over time like a verandah post which is now covered up inside the wall.<br />

I went round to the house today to do some work in the garden and took a few snaps on the phone. This is the old house with fresh coat of paint. It still needs another coat and the roof still needs to be painted but the impact is pretty dramatic already. <br />

And there was a bit of a show while I was there - the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roulettes" target="_blank">Roulettes</a> were doing some aerobatics over Sandy Bay and Battery Point. They were actually much closer than they look in this photo.<br />

There are still a few small windows that need to go in but all of the big ones are in and the new room is fairly waterproof. It kind of looks like it did before but with windows.<br />

The inside of the room is starting to look a bit more finished too. The window at the other end is actually a full length sliding door but there is stuff leaning against it in this photo.</div>

It's all meant to be finished in about eight weeks from last Monday when these photos were taken but we're not convinced it will be completely finished. There has been quite a bit of progress in some areas.<br />
<br />
There is a new wall in what used to be the big room. Here are the two sides of the wall. The side that is currently just a frame will be covered with bookshelves.<br />

The gas is not quite connected. Tasgas was there trying to put a line under the street using a borer. Their machine hit a rock which means they have to come back and dig a trench across the whole street which is a much bigger operation. <br />

And the garden is still a building site. Parts of the garden are starting to get overgrown and I need to spend some time doing some weeding, especially as it gets warmer and things start growing again.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ian was in Launceston for work on Saturday so the kids and I prammed it to our other <a href="http://sofiasplayground.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/2652.html" target="_blank">local playground</a> at Marieville Esplanade. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On the way we stopped in at the (very old school) Sandy Bay Bakery and for once I let Sofia and Otto choose whatever they liked from the wide array of sweet treats. They both went for a butterfly cupcake. The treats didn't last long once we had reached our destination - I think you could say they were happy with their choice.</span><br />

So we went back and took the photos again.<br />
<br />
The front four rooms in the old house are well progressed and the floors have now been completed. The floorboards are full of character throughout the house and give some clues as to ow the house has changed over the years.<br />

There is a new wall which splits the big room in two. It isn't complete yet but the stud work is done. On this side of the wall there will be bookshelves. You can see the different wood in the floor which was put in to replace the old fireplace and wall which were removed in 1920. <br />

The hallway is being raised towards the back of the house.The frame is installed but the builder hasn't put in the step or the floorboards yet. The floorboards will be recycled from the parts of the house that we demolished. <br />

A bonus snow shot of the backyard. It snowed for the first time since we've been in the house so I snuck round after dropping the kids at childcare for some snaps. Some of the snow had melted by then but it still looked pretty.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was a beautiful sunny day on Saturday so we packed a simple picnic and headed to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond,_Tasmania" target="_blank">Richmond</a> and <a href="http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/richmond" target="_blank">"</a></span><a href="http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/richmond" target="_blank">Australia's oldest known large stone arch bridge"</a> to enjoy the rays.<br />

Otto didn't eat much of his lunch - too busy chasing gulls. His shark glasses (a <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=bnib&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8" target="_blank">bnib</a> $2 score at the op shop) have been a big hit. As Ian said, "a little bit Elton".<br />

It is a great park with a playground, lots of public art and a great big grassy hill - perfect for a bit of rolling!<br />
