Downstairs Room

We now have a usable, presentable downstairs room, complete with a couch!
Damien traveled to Launceston and chose 2 lounges: the one pictured will end up upstairs, but we're using it while they build our downstairs one.

It is nice to watch "Being Human" together once a week without having to sit on floor cushions and an inflatable mattress.  I'm missing "Dr Who" as a regular event, but there will be a new season eventually.
 
The Fishtank is still out of action:  We started the renovation several years ago as a place to put a very large tank (we got it cheap).

Damien recently repaired a panel, and then filled it up with water.  It looked great for an hour or so, but then started to slowly drip.  Not sure where the drip came from.

It's been drained again now, and he'll soon be hitting it hard with some silicone.  This will be tricky, because you can't actually reach from the top to the bottom.  We've been joking about him using his rock climbing harness and descending from an I beam "mission impossible" style with a silicone gun in a holster...

It'll happen eventually:  Finished room with finished fish tank.  We'll have to have a serious celebration.

I do remember that tank, although for the better part of your time at that house, it has been partically swamped :D

I can't wait to see the finished room, and by golly, Joe will be seriously impressed with your choice of lounge suit Damien.
