Some good photos. The old fella does look a sorry state. Good to hear things are moving on in your new home. Hopefully won’t be too long now. Don’t over do it yourself though.

A flurry of activity is finally happening at the cottage in St Arnaud. Contractors leveling the foundations, builder all set to install the bathroom after that, painter teed up to work around the builder, we met with the interior designer today to clarify colours.....
We went out and pulled the carpet and underlay out of the hall and living room today. That was not a great success. It showed that I'm not going too good at all.
I can't do much at all without running out of air.
I got a phone call from the lung specialist yesterday saying she wants to see me on Monday after the scans I had last week. That's ominous. I have a lung function test and then a consultation.
Typically, the first thing that went through my head was she will tell me my lungs are buggered and the pigeons have to go. Catherine shot that down
We know my lungs are shot but we don't know how bad it is, and the pigeons are not going yet.
Watch this space.
Keep your chin up mate, i understand what you are going through, Lung function test and blood liver tests every 5 weeks, it does make me think am i missing something. But then my brain tells me to keep on moving, i do feel getting rid of the birds, takes the life away from you. Nothing worse than empty spaces. Have a great Evening mate.

Great to see things starting to progress for you mate
As Andy says, just take it easy and let others do the hard yards
Just keep taking every precaution you can so you are able to continue enjoying your birds, at the end of the day you need some pleasure in your life
Onwards and upwards my friend

Thanks for the messages and support!
We had a big skip bin delivered yesterday and today spent a couple of hours putting carpet, broken tiles and rubbish in it. It is so frustrating, I want to just chuck stuff in it, but I have to go slowly.

People are kind. Our new neighbour, Raymond, who is a big strong bloke, came over and hurled the carpet in then jumped up and down on it.
