Drill, hammer, bang...


Look what's been happening at our place! 

We are so excited to see it finally happening.  Back up more than a year ago and you would have found us clearing and flattening the shed site, using the topsoil to create a wonderful vege garden, and securing a contract with a shed building company to build us a shed and a verandah.

And now our plans are finally happening.  After a few back and forths with the council, a bankrupt shed building company and more than a year of waiting.

I'll admit to having a celebratory glass of wine tonight.

But we've just heard about the gnarly tropical low (downgraded from a cyclone) coming through tomorrow and over the weekend.  Here's hoping it doesn't pick up the corrugated iron sheets and fling them around!

  2. So happy for you! Fingers crossed re: big Wilma due Friday. Hopefully it will just be a bit of wet, but nothing more to worry about.

  5. Batten down the hatches - while "Wilma" has been downgraded, I just heard on the radio that it will mostly affect Northland...I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

  6. Did I ever tell you the story about our trampoline which flew over the pittosporum hedge and over the powerlines to land out on the road??? We have rain at the moment - no wind - so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too. Congratulations on the progress.
