What a productive day...

Decided today was a good day to get a bunch done about the place.
Several trips o Bunnings over the last few days and I have lots of paints and a few new tools to play with.
I bought a set of French doors last weekend and a bunch of colonial skirtings and architrave.
Sanded and painted doors. Stripped door frame. Painted WC. Sanded remaining timber doors and trim.
Stripping lining paper turned into quite a job. Not sure what to do with it now. Open to suggestions but it will all need a skim to smooth out.
Ready for the new WC window, kitchen and side board to arrive. !

A more eclectic update

Just an update in gardens and a few interesting photos from around Christchurch and job sites. Throw in a coffee and the new super luxurious duvet and wool underlay.

Illumination and pretty things

Very exciting to arrive home yesterday and all my lights were installed.
Still the outside lights to be installed and a couple of last switches to be changed.
I bought new hanging lights for all rooms recently, new switches in the old style for the odd rooms and requested all odd mismatched outlets and switches to be changes to a std white where not to be the old fashioned switch and back board.

Exciting new things in the South..

Well maybe some won't find it as exciting as the new things from Auckland but...
I spent my Friday evening at the garden store and most of my Saturday in the sun and garden. Oh it was bliss, (not really but looks good now).
A bit of progress for the gardens.
And I has collected my new lights.
Not to be outdone by Matt and Amy. The fruits of my... 'labour' was delicious this morning. Hehe

All things colourful and happy

Well it's been a wee while and a few new little things. Have included a few photos of the greater areas and a little update in buddy.
He's a happy boy when I get home and just trying to figure out how I am going to be able to leave him off his leash during the days.
New furniture for the bedroom.
New lights for kitchen, dining, laundry
New rubbish and recycling bins. Very cool.
Saving now for the kitchen. !
