Renovating The Front Verandah – Part 1

Finally, we’ve been able to start on the second stage of our home renovation project. Come and join us while we get busy transforming our neglected verandah into an ensuite for us, an office for our son and a new front porch for our visitors.

In part one of this renovation project, we tackle the ceiling insulation, or lack of, by building new rafters and battens to hold up the insulation while we work. Following that, we get into the real stuff, replacing the floorboards and some missing joists to create a sturdy platform for some new walls, doors and windows.

Our goal for our five day intensive worker bee, was to get the place ready for our electrician and plumber to come and run their cables and pipes. Spoiler alert! We did it and we’re excited to get back into it over the Christmas break. We’ll be sure to film any progress we make in the meantime.
