New fireplace

We have the fireplace installation guys here at the moment putting the lovely new fireplace insert in, so we can be warm tonight :-)

Still need to patch up the sides since this was a little thinner than the previous one

Fortunately the last few nights have been pretty mild, so it hasn't been too uncomfortable for us, but we are very much looking forward to having a nice roaring fire in the lounge room.

Derek has been out with them trying to understand how it all works, so I'm assuming he will be installing the one into the new house by himself... well maybe with someone to help him lift the sucker and get the flue in place.

Apart from all of this we got the tv antenna installed on Friday, nothing like have a new tv that you can't get any reception on. It did mean that we spent a few nights watching DVDs though, so I can recommend Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie, and Van Dieman's Land is pretty unsettling.

With the installation of the fireplace we will have two rooms complete, our bedroom and the lounge room. The kitchen, laundry and bathroom are almost there, it's really just the study and the spare bedroom that still need a lot of work.

Overall though, our new little house in Tassie is quite comfortable, and we're still excited about the change :-)
