Ahh, three years is but a drop in the ocean.

I bought a scout hall seven years ago and have only got as far as demolishing the kitchen - doesn't really count as an improvement.

But I'm swift when it comes to my family, my cousin has been renovating constantly for 25 years and when you walk in the front door it looks like a tip - he's getting to the visible bits last.

In total I don't think he's ever stopped, the previous houses were in much the same state up until the moment of selling, so probably under constant renovation for more than 30 years.

Whenever I run out of work I can count on a spell with him.

My most recent purchase is the forest in Tambaroora and I'm planning on doing renovations with a bulldozer and a chainsaw real soon now.

Hopefully that's in the next six months rather than next six years.

Ace one of them fell into the tree next to it when we moved in and still refuses to come down and its on enough of an angle to require my help to finnish it off. They will all have to go one day as they have that yellow powder rot in them.

Simon I know the feeling. I spent the first year doing invisible things and then got annoyed so the last year has been mostly visible stuff to prove that I have been working.

I have one house which I live in as a constant renovation. The settlement on the next one which will be a reno rental property is due in about a months time. Only trouble is it doesn't leave much $$ for Range Rovering...
