My shed is blue but I have no kitchen.


24th June
Shed constructed, and first coat of paint on;
Wall smashing a success; 
And finally we have a bedroom!














Finally - a bedroom!

Jubilee weekend: keep calm and carry on painting

Another 4 day weekend of painting, pointing, tiling, decking, shopping, cutting, thinking, deciding...

Not so exciting, but we're making progress! Here are some photos:

Just call him Craig

Just call him Craig


More imported labour with a thing for Crocs footwear..
Craig flew over from Sydney last week and was given an air mattress, some of Greg's old clothes and 10days to landscape our "pub garden" (despite no real previous experience).
























Introducing Craig Covich
Quote: "No wine thanks, I'm on the job". 
Hobbies: cutting corners and going to Wickes to buy screws. 


Over the last 10 days we saw 3 things happen: 


1. Not wanting to bunk with Craig, Mr Nicholas completed his new room - "the dungeon". 


 


2. Craig revolutionised our garden
More on this in the next blog (it deserves its own post)...







3. And we all learnt some new skills
