Although it’s summer here in Australia in January I always get a bit down. It’s all the excitement in the lead up to Christmas and then that is over and if the kids have come home to stay there is the sadness for me that they are no longer close by with 2 of them now living in different states. This year we had planned a few days to visit our daughter at the start of January to see the area she lives in now so I had that to look forward to. I think these are great ideas and you can still apply a lot of them no matter where in the world you live.

It still cost us a fair bit because we got trades in for this as was first room we tackled and we had no clue. With other fixtures and fittings and labour, I think we still ended up paying over 10K. Sure others will have done it cheaper but it's not bad considering what you can end up paying.

Hi, On another topic, have you ever done any research on the families who have lived in your house? We did on our Edwardian semi and discovered that the first owner had 2 children, both boys who went to fight in the First World War. It took a while to piece everything together using the website Ancestry, but the youngest got killed in 1917 aged 20, and the oldest survived and remained in the house till 1972. Makes you think differently about the house, knowing things like this. Andrew

Hi Andrew - I've done tons! I find it fascinating. I'm missing only about 5 years from 1990-1995 and hope to meet up with a woman who grew up here from the 60s to 80s. I'm yet to find any treasure though, apart from a busted up old army jacket button from the second world war. How very sad about the sons from your house 😥

It still cost us a fair bit because we got trades in for this as was first room we tackled and we had no clue. With other fixtures and fittings and labour, I think we still ended up paying over 10K. Sure others will have done it cheaper but it's not bad considering what you can end up paying.

Hi, On another topic, have you ever done any research on the families who have lived in your house?

It took a while to piece everything together using the website Ancestry, but the youngest got killed in 1917 aged 20, and the oldest survived and remained in the house till 1972. Makes you think differently about the house, knowing things like this. Andrew
