Wow, this has been some journey for sure!
Trying to renovate/restore an 100 year old building in a foreign country where I can't speak the language, know nothing of their culture, having no idea of their building methods...even though I was a professional Award winning builder and designer in OZ...has been a mud brick and very dusty experience for sure!
We are on the home run now and even I can see the difference in these pics here today.
Am very happy with the work Imre is doing.

| It is Autumn Festival time here... |
 |
| From this... |
 |
| To this...not bad hey? Now for shelving... |
 |
| I have a kitchen drawer! |
 |
| Red sky at night... |
 |
| Yikes! A big frost this morning! |
 |
| A bit frosty on the back stretch of my jogging track... |
 |
| More jogging track... |
 |
| My jogging track has lovely foliage along the way... |
 |
| Lovely clear skies...early mornings jogging track. |
 |
| A close up of the Autumn Festival Mascots... |
 |
| A strange sky at sunset... |
 |
| A nice Autumn day in Tiszafured... |
 |
| That's my place that looks like it is in the middle of the road down there! The shop is on the right with the road sign out. |
 |
| Up the road from me...State workers collecting autumn leaves... |
 |
| Jogging time...another frost today! |
 |
| Work on the ceiling and rafters beginning. I'm actually going to stain the beams here... |
 |
| Imre cutting the bottom off the door so it can shut properly to be used as a shutter for the window. He is going to restore the air conditioning features of it. |
 |
| Dog in her royal bed! |
 |
| Dining rooms don't normally have beds in them...but when the place is finally cleaned up, this bed will be in the bedroom. Just testing curtain ideas here...that is my mossie net on the windows, but it gives me an idea of colour... |
 |
| Just positioning things to set out work areas for the kitchen. |
 |
| Klaas gave me these 18 windows taken from a house he is renovating and they will all be used here, on the end of the verandah, to stop the wind, in the kitchen, in a window hole we found, in the tool shed and in the summer kitchen,. They are all the same virtually as my ones in the front room. Awesome hey? |
 |
| All done in here...well, almost. Not sure about the pine top...paint or stain?Plus a shelf has to go under trhe vanity with cane baskets on it. |
 |
| The very last of the veggies...Pulled out the last of all the veggie bushes today and cleaned out the gardens...The ground is already frozen and hard... |
That's it for now.
What do you think of the place taking shape?
Will have better pics over the coming weeks...
See you next week with some great fun pics for you,
Take care
Cheers,
M
