The house photo shoot...

What can I say, besides it didn't happen!

After Martin and I busted our buns all week getting ready for today, and the man who takes the photos got here right on time, looked around the house and did his measurements for the write up of the property. Then he sat down with us and advised us to wait and do the photos in about 10 days time. The rooms we want photographed are all done and pretty close to perfect, but the transitional areas are not so good. In fact, they are full of junk and timber scraps and all sorts. He said we should wait and try to get things a bit tidier elsewhere so it is easier to do the photo shoot. The pictures will turn out better that way.

I just want to cry! Dylan's been at the Mundays' house all day so we could get stuff done, and the downstairs (minus the bathroom) is PERFECT! All the bedrooms are clean. The kitchen is gleaming. And I am going to have to do it all over again for next week.

Martin is grateful for the extra time, but I am seriously depressed. Though we have accomplished more in the past 7 days than we have in the past 7 months. And we will get even MORE done for the photo shoot later on. Having a deadline is a real motivator. I'm going to take some photos of the house so everyone can take a look at what we've done. It's seriously beautiful!

Now it's time to pick Dylan up and get pie and peas for dinner--I'm too tired to cook!
