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... 

Substantially painted..!

Some great efforts over the last 2 days. Thanks to Jodie and a long weekend. House is looking quite lovely if I must say so myself. 

Coming along nicely

Just a bunch of photos really. But slowly getting there, lots to do though so glad some family is coming down later this month. Thanks Dave and Kate. 

Panelling completed in master bedroom. 

Panelling to hallway complete. Pretty proud of my carpentry efforts on this one. 

New log burner.?!?

A photo of Jodie not working for once. 

Pretty stuff. 

And now Jodie's efforts for the day, after a good surf this morning.!

Kitchen photos

Oops.

Thank you Dave and Dad..!

A huge thanks to Dave and Dad for the long couple of days in Christchurch in the cold, damp, not square old house.
One thing lead to another and we ended up replacing the kitchen window as well. It looks fantastic and I am very happy.
Thanks to Jodie for keeping the coffees and pies close at hand.
Thanks Mum for the hundred phone calls organising the kitchen, it is amazing and I love it. Perfect.
Would not have done this much in 3 months and would never look this good without Dad and Dave. Safe trip home.!
Sorry Dad. Had to change the window in toilet.
