Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up. She does resemble a NH. I have a soft spot for palomino NH. I went to the original breeders house and saw them and they were certainly interesting. They were very large as well. Close to Australorp size.

We got a Palomino NH from Katt, but it's looking much like arooster. She said there was a lady up in the hills working on the colour.Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up. She does resemble a NH.

Old houses here seem to all be built on stilts, with hardwood used throughout. Our house is more modern, double brick on concrete pad with tile roof. Old ones have cement sheeting externally, iron roofs (although iron is making a comeback) and timber framing/floor.Newy is real purdy. I love those floorboards you put in, although I can't get over the fact that nowhere else in the world have they seemed to notice that tiles are a lot better flooring and wall material for wet spaces. Boards are definitely better than carpeting, but I'd be a bit worried with it still.
*Edit*
I took a second look at the bathroom, and showed it to Karin too, she also loved it.
But then I noticed the faucets (which I do admit look nice), and I have to ask, are faucets with a hot and cold water mixer not available in Australia? To me it seems, all countries with British influence in their background seem to have that kind of separate faucets, so that you can choose to either scald your hands, or loose fingers to frostbite.
Some of the blackwood floor boards in our house are the original pit sawn ones. We had to replace the ones that were drenched with cow and possum pee.
I stay away when hubby goes into bunnings. He gets a strange ' glazed over look ' as soon as he gets through the automatic doors.

Great chic pic! So silly American here, what is bunnings? By automatic doors and previous conversation... hardware store?
Cow and possum pee, I can only imagine, reminds me of my first house, animals had been left living alone in it after humans moved out. We pulled up all the carpet and painted the sub floor until we had a better time to install flooring! Yuck!
New floor with a drain, repaired the bath and frame, shelf, trim work and painted it all up perdy. Once the walls are dry we will treat the jarrah and it's ready to go.
On arrival home, I found our girls had been laying a storm, 7 eggs the first day and another 6 today. We are getting close to our record!
Early start tomorrow, more training, no rest for the wicked.....
Wow - the transformation is amazing! Those are great skills to have. It too me 10 hours to build a nest box which the girls won't use. They have stuck to the $6 second hand dog box in the run. : / By the time I figured out that I'd got the angle wrong for the roof I was sick of wood work so did a fabric fix which obviously didn't cut the mustard.
I hope your mate knows how lucky he is. So, do you travel to do runs Ben? I'm sure we have some great races around here.
