Queen Victoria Market
For the fans of the infamous Portland Saturday Market, I decided to make us go into the city to see what the Queen Victoria Market is all about.

Quick update!
So I’ve been lacking on the shanty updates since before Christmas because we’ve been a bit all over the place. Plaster is up on the walls, insulation all done, and the windows are painted with an undercoat on the inside! Almost all of the gaps are filled (so absolutely NO bugs can get in. Today I finished painting the windows with their undercoat while Brad and Pauline started to put...
