About Me

Lots of people are aware of the funny idiosyncrasies of the Australian language...... a common tip for visitors keen to sound like a local, add an “o” to the end of each word, a ‘servo’ is a service station, rego is the car registration, the bottle-o is the bottle shop and reno is renovation. We are renovating our home, in other words, “we’re doing some reno’s”! This is our attempt at a blog, a way to describe the journey of the reno’s, an extended tale that's taken us from our little flat near a beach in Sydney, to our little miners cottage in Melbourne, come to think of it... we might call it the “reno blogo”.

Skirting - well worth it...

I’m actually surprised at how little skirting costs considering it makes the place look a billion times better... I think we spent something like $70 on bits of timber...then painted them with a sponge... then placed them against the wall – We’ve screwed some to the wall – but most of them are still just lying around. It’s one of the first things we did to the place – madness really considering we were going to knock out a wall - It’s called Vodafone no plans! Renovating blindly...
