Feeling Productive!

Two posts in one day! But I am feeling productive.

Have booked the window tinters in to apply film to the front sidelights - because the butchers paper on the sidelights is looking pretty sad! Best thing is they can come TODAY. YEAH! Sean won't know what's hit him when he comes home and sees it all done.

Also about to approve the quote to add doors to the open shelves in the laundry and to have a lock added to one of the cupboards.

I think I *might* even tackle the WIR today and try to finish that off, too.

Another project I am eager to tackle is the deeds to the house. Let me explain :)

As the first sale of the house/lot since certificates of title went electronic, we got the decommissioned original paper deed in amongst our settlement documents. It's slightly larger than A3, has been removed from the original paper ledger, and has the subdivision measurements etc. and original owner's details on the front. And on the back it has the details of every owner (and mortgage :P) since the lot was created and the original house built.

Of course now it's just a curio as it holds no legal value. But it's part of the 'history' of our home - and so I am going to have it framed and hung in the entryway.

Because it has information on the front and back, I was thinking to have a double sided frame made for it. Am not sure whether these even exist - but am sure where there's a will there's a way :)

  1. Wow! Firstly I didn't know that titles were now electronic.

    Secondly - what an amazing piece of history to have! ours wouldn't be interesting as we are only the third owners of this land as it was a fairly recent subdivision (1960s).

    I can imagine that a good framer would be able to make you a double-sided frame easily enough. How would people view the second side though? It would be a cool thing to use as part of a divider between two sections of a room though, hanging from the ceiling so that both sides can be viewed!
