Help locating an old thread

Ok, so this will sound weird, but a few months back I recall a member posting a link to his blog, in which he showed pictures and updates of his DIY house renovation, while he waited for his fiancee to get her K1 and fly over.

I don't remember which member was, but I thought it was neat and I like following these types of blogs, and wondered how the house was now.

I looked and used the search but nothing came up. Anyone remember this?

Wasn't that Platypius of Platypius and mags?

[Ladylethal 12]

No idea. Will check into his user to see if that was it.

EDIT: Yes! That was it. Thank you.

I think it's really fun those renovation thingies and I like reading about them. Maybe I was a constructor in another life, who knows.

I know! I know!

'Twas PP & mags. He's supposed to be inspiring me, but I can't even get to the blog stage.

My garden is probably more pruned tho. <g>

Hello! If you want a new link, here you go:

http://www.oldhousegazette.com/house/

The old link won't work anymore as we had to change the name for legal reasons.

I've just got in from painting more of the outside actually; it's nearly all grey now. I said nearly!

I never knew it was you Mags! I left a comment there, in case you have no idea who was invading your blog. I love DIY projects although I suck at them.

I can't wait to have a house of my own so I can work on it like you guys are doing. Although I do hope it's not gonna be a historical house, 'cus I can only do cosmetic stuff, and Luis can't even assemble walmart furniture, so I can deal with painting, hanging stuff on the walls, sanding, etc. But not fixing eletrical, plumbing, and building.

I have to admit, until I helped put up a ceiling I had done little in the way of actual building work. Now I'm a pretty good with a nail gun...and I like it!

The house is coming together slowly, but it's a HUGE job. Everything has to be replaced in most of the rooms. Walls, floor, ceilings etc etc. Of course, if you have any spare time....

Thanks Rebecca! I'll pass the message onto Larry.

[Ladylethal 12]

It's bookmarked for me as well.

[Mags 112]

Aww, thanks guys. There should be an update pretty soon. I've just finished the side of the house so Larry will no doubt be happy snapping at some point!

[Ladylethal 12]

I bet it will be very exciting when the whole house is ready. It will require a HUGE celebration.

I think a party will be in order! Mind you, it'll probably be a bit like the Golden Gate Bridge. By the time we get around to finishing it, the bits we did first will need re-decorating again!

Thanks! We did spend a bit of time pondering colours. First it was a dark green, then a greenish blue, then I realised that it would need at least 3-4 coats of paint to get that colour. So, grey it is!

Actually, I really like it, much more than the green originally picked.
