The RUC – update

Last year we moved an old Queenslander to our property.

I thought I’d put some pictures up here to show how the block has changed in the last 16 months (has it really been that long?)

The Queenslander (an old Rugby Union Club or RUC as it is fondly known) is moved in on the back of a truck (in two halves)

The RUC is set in place

The RUC has a new roof put on

The RUC is given a coat of paint and wrapped in new cladding

So – what’s left? you may well ask…

We need to put stairs at the front of the veranda where the gate is. There are internal stairs, but I’d like the ‘butterfly’ stairs put on as well.

We need to finish the bathroom and the lounge room and then last (but certainly not least for the men around here) we need to finish the ‘man-cave’ underneath as well as skirting around the base to cover said ‘man-cave’ 😀

Here are the changes I’ve made to the Writer’s Nook and Kitchen

What a job!
