Our house

When we eventually move into our Tasmanian house, we want to have several things done to make the house liveable and nice. These are the immediate renovations that need to be done to the house.

Necessities (things that need doing immediately):

1. Re-wire the entire house.
2. Knock down old barn style shed and attached room and patio and build a new colourbond shed. Perhaps also a little closed in conservatory in place of the current patio J Council approval needs to be sought before the new colourbond shed is built.
3. Fix the ceiling in the study.
4. Knock down the south facing deck and build a new shed with steel posts and treated wood.
5. Put in a laundry. There’s nothing in the laundry except for that horrible wooden tub. I’d like to see cupboards and benchtops with a new tub.
6. Knock out the bathroom and do an entire re-fit. Fill in the bathroom door and relocate the bathroom door so that it comes off the main hallway.
7. New front door/front entrance area.
8. Remove wallpaper from all walls and paint.
9. Check guttering and install new down pipes and storm water pipes.

Nicesities (things that would be nice but that really can wait for a little while):

1. New white kitchen with new appliances.
2. New built-ins in bedrooms, built-ins along hallway.
3. New off-peak heaters, wood heater in the lounge/dining.
4. Erect a sunroom off the back of the house to take advantage of the warm winter sun.
