Renovation progress, days 2 and 3

After a solid three days of work, the team have got the front window + wall finished, the wiring in place (including repositioning of the phone input so it’s not in our bedroom), and got everything ready for the plasterer to come in and prettify, with the painter and cabinetmaker to follow shortly thereafter. We went off to our local The Good Guys at Oxley (recently reopened after the floods in January) and ordered a 2.6KW Mitsubishi Heavy Industries split system. That should arrive in the next 10 days, and their recommended installer lives a few hundred metres away from us. Sweet!

Some photos of how things look right now:
