Painting Job Done.
It looks like a new building after the roofing and the painting jobs are done.
I think this dark-brown colour blended well with these neighbourhood streets which is an old country town.

Getting on with the Renovation! On The Second Floor.
Frank took old window frames out with a grinder and electronic saw and installed new windows while my dad was painting outside. It was really horrible windows finally it has gone!! It looks so good! Mother-in-law made curtains and installed them.

While the builders are fixing our roof Frank is using their scaffolding for cleaning and painting the outside house wall in dark brown water based paint.
It is amazing how much they change the look!

The roofing construction has started! We are getting a new roof! Technically the roof wasn't too bad, it wasn't leaking and damaged but we were concerned the area with high rainfall and it is an old house.
I would like to share my thought because I found it is very bizarre... The builder came to set scaffolding up even on Sunday and start working on a national holiday. They won't stop working as long as there is a job. It is not only my builder does all the tradies this area seems the same, they all work on Sunday and national holiday (Saturday isn't count as a day off) They are all coming to my house and work 😳 I thought that is a bit strange. 🤔😕

Dinning Room and Kitchen Complete! Frank connected the water and sink taps, tiled and installed the gas bottle. It is now ready to use! It took two weeks to complete and he did (practically) everything himself. He has done amazingly. We are looking forward to using this kitchen and welcoming all our guests.😃

The IKEA Kitchen took a few hours to install. The white plasterboard you can see has been installed as a fire safety precaution.

Frank the " Renovation King" has nearly finished the dinning room.
It has taken a few weeks.

I purchased a second hand mid-size fridge from Amazon.co.jp. Delivered was quicker than anticipated and with a few final touches, our "Airbnb" will be open for business very soon.

Dinning room renovation is progressing nicely .
In July we purchased all materials for the floor, walls, tiling and kitchen. Delivery date was set for when Frank arrived along with six windows I bought online.
My father Yasuhiro, helped Frank with the dinning room walls.😃
