So (gulp) we will be shifting in with no plans for makeovers, just gritting our teeth and waiting for miracles to happen so we can make it a little less hideous.

It wasn't what she had in mind for us apparently!<br /><br />But we spent a whole summer listening to cricket on the radio and doing up our little 1950's, bomb proof shack. My favourite room was one we never used - the dining room with its beautiful fireplace.<br /><br />And when it came time to knock it down, gee I was sad.

So when he says he wants to renovate this or that, without any prior experience whatsoever, I just keep my mouth shut.

No structural changes, just trying to make things work better when you have a 1930s house with 50s and 80s additions. <br />We've been living here for the duration and it has not been fun. For the last leg (new kitchen flooring), we will be moving to my mums. Mr Karen wasn't keen, but I insisted. Very loudly. <br />Love your criteria for a man.Karenhttp://therhythmmethod.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-62163270309228239842011-07-26T23:44:19.172+10:002011-07-26T23:44:19.172+10:00Ohhh how exciting!

Whilst the bathroom was in progress, we errected an outdoor shower. A hose. <br /><br />My forte is tiling. And cutting in. <br /><br />I am deeply envious of you having the builder.
