We are with RACT at present. When we bought this house our then insurer QBE declined to take out insurance on this house as it needed to be rewired. RACT was the only company prepared to do it and then only because they were covering the house anyway for the current owner. The sale would not have proceeded if we had been unable to get cover. Sometimes think it might have been a good thing as I am still grieving for my former home and garden.
The renos have been getting me down a lot, but I can see that we have achieved a lot in a reasonably short time; hopefully the bedroom will be finished in the next few weeks. Once I have a date for installation of the wardrobe I can arrange for the carpet to be placed also. This year I hope it will be the kitchen that gets the makeover; I have almost forgotten how to cook - it is so difficult to produce a reasonable meal without a reliable stove. Les is talking of having another shed erected so that we can move stuff out of the house, and we can then proceed with the remaining rooms more easily.
Am thinking of posting a similar blog to zhenzi's with a guided tour of the house, if I can find time to do it.
Would be happy to send you some sun as we have a surfeit of it. Late 'showers' predicted for today, hope they happen. The only trees in the garden that are thriving at present are natives.
