House – have we always had this much stuff!!

Hi All,

Well its taken a while to get around to updating the blog but as you would all understand we’ve had quite a it on the last few months.

Since we moved in on 16 August we have gotten so much done around the place but still have so much to do.  The one thing that we still haven’t finished and it seems as though it will take at least six months more – is the unpacking …… where did we get all of this stuff from ??!!

Ther must be still at least a dozen removal boxes in the shed to unpack and heaps of other stuff laying around that we need to find a place for.  Time is the biggest thing that we don’t have, what with the boys and all.

We did sell a bit of stuff on ebay last month which got rid of some gear that we would never use and we really wondered why we had in the first place.  That was good and the few hundred dollars came in very handy as it seems as though we are at Bunnings every weekend buying something else for the yard or the house (we actually refer to Bunnings as ‘church’ because we are there every weekend).

We finished rebuilding the pizza oven and decided that Saturday the 18th of October was a good date to get everyone around for a house warming ………. and wedding.  Yep that’s right we got everyone around thinking that they were coming to a simple house warming and then sprung it on them out of the blue that it was actually a wedding.  The look on peoples faces was priceless – we would be able to relive that moment over and over again, but the person operating the video camera forgot to take the lense cap off …. no names … onya Robyn.   It all went really well.  It was  nothing formal, just some good friends and family, our boys (including Cameron who flew over from Burnie for the weekend) and a celebrant at Warnbro Beach at Sunset.   I know that Enid wants to do a Wedding update so I wont say much more other the night was perfect and I consider myself to be blessed to have three great kids and such a gorgeous wife.

Well back to the house …..

You might recall from a previous update that we bought some floor to ceiling wardrobe doors off ebay a few months ago, well we finally got those installed the weekend before the wedding thanks to the help of Bronko. We have also put up one side of the patio covering the deck and we’ve had a couple of good storms which has tested out our patio building skills out. We have also built the large raised planter boxes which will be Enids vegie gardens and this weekend we have started to build the enclosure for the chooks that Enid wants to get.

There is still heaps to do both inside and out so there will still be a need for quite a few more ‘House’ updates yet …. so stay tuned and thanks for those still interested enough to keep reading.

Cheers

D, E, B & Z
