    Lol. Thanks for the laugh. You have just moved outside of Ipswich, and you don't think you will need an air-conditioner. 😂😂

      We've lived in Ipswich since 2002 & never had air conditioning.
      We're moving from there to the Childers region which on average is cooler than Ipswich. 😉👍

    I've ben following you for over 8 years, this is the most excited I've been of your uploads. Don't get me wrong, I like the aquaponics which is what I have and want to do. But this whole project is exciting and close to my own desires. I know the house is important, I'm really looking forward to the dams and livestock.
    Bianca is such a practical woman (Good with her hands too) and has a good grasp over necessity over function and circumstances. example, who cares that the paint behind the fridge will be pristine. Blessed man.

    The guinea fowl will probably start roosting on your roof & piping, once the trees gone, so your gunna need a bigger pot, there almost a substitute for your Butcher bird & Maggie mates 😊.

    Hopefully the recent ceiling paint wasn't to cover-up roof leaks. Fix door stops to bottom of doors (vs skirts) so not in the way for vacuum. A/C maybe a cheap fix, research making yellow plastic white again.
    If you use corner pedestal fans (vs ceiling), don't have to worry about being scalped (Rob), breaking a finger when stretching, can position wherever (i.e. assist draft in/out of window/door), can put them away during winter, cheaper & easier to replace if issues.
    Staining (only) the stairs would look nice, less scratch/maint vs varnish/gloss.

      There is no skirting in the office downstairs unfortunately so nothing to connect the stop to but the sliding door rail.
      Air con needs new compressor + we have never had one so are used to the heat.
