Mark and Jodie's wedding

Won't add a lot of commentary. Has taken too long to get around to adding some photos.

Will do another one for the honeymoon. And then a few updates on 'our' house.

Thanks Dave and Stace

Was great to see Dave and Stace down for the weekend. 

Let's not pretend for too long, I was most excited to see and have my long awaited wardrobes and joinery Mum and Dad had made in Nelson. So, an update on the house to date and a massive thank you to David and Stacey for another long weekends work. 

Breakfast bar, a bit of a cover required to the back and 'not square' wall but - love it. Awaiting the final red stool. 

Awesome laundry shelving. Looks good with the green.

Range hood and splash back. Note the wee ss screws, very funky. 

Wardrobe 1. 

Wardrobe 2. 

Awesome new porch over the back doors. Doors removed and planed. Found the wee fancy bits at Bunnings. A bargain. 

Gable reconstructed and now in the process of painting. 

Like new. 

What was there. Roofing iron stopped short by 50mm. A flashing and new barge now protects what is left of the timbers. 

HRV and heat transfer were installed a few weeks ago. I think is a bit early for a full report but looks promising and is certainly nice to transfer the heat from the fire. 

Gardening and stuff

Just the usual collection of progress around the place.

Have found a few wallpaper samples I like. Contractor has priced the foundation work and we will have this done sometime after Hawaii. 

Enjoying the gardening. Warehouse and Bunnings have good garden centres... Found a great garden centre down the road too which had a good selection of roses. Then I bought most of them.

Have done some more on my room and decided to paint the inside of the door keeping things a but lighter. 

And windows all done. 

Wallpaper for my room (and yes Jodie does like it). 

And the spare room (Jodie yet to be fully convinced on this one). 

Loving room 

Obviously the kitchen and dining will be the most amazing...

Now for the gardens

After some reasonably unsuccessful Buddy proofing on the last efforts, I have taken matters more seriously. 

And to protect the remainder of my vege garden. 

The gardens that were. Thanks Kate

It was lovely to see Kate for the weekend. 

Didn't manage to get her into a sander but we did do a little gardening. 

A trip from the warehouse with a trolley. 

Buddy proofing

And after one little day...
