Kitchen Handles
In the on going saga that is the modifications to our house, we have tackled part of the kitchen. Nothing serious like a new stove (yet) but a quick dress up by replacing the door handles.

Feature Wall
A couple of weeks ago, we decided to add some colour to the house by painting up the wall behind the TV. Below is the progression of photos of the blank wall through the first coat then to its final look.
The color is Haymes Silence, incase your playing at home.
First coat
Everything back in place

New Garden (pt2)
Its taken me a couple of weeks to post the update about the completion of our new garden bed, but if you read enough here you’ll know that i’m slack and doing even this soon is efficient by my standards.
So here they are, the completed construction photos and the rest of the plants in.
And thats it, its been in the ground a few weeks now and the plants are a little bigger, but it is winter and they don’t grow that fast at this time of year anyway, but in a few months when the warmth comes back i’ll put up some updated photos of everything in full bloom.

New Garden (pt1)
A few weekends ago, Rach and I decided to reduce some of the grass we have in the backyard by creating a new garden bed. Well now its complete I know its a 3 day effort, here are the progressive photos. This is the first stage of garden preperation with the digging of the bed and filling of the topsoil.
1st Saturday
I’m looking buggered by here, and its not even a 1/3 of the way done.
Most of the way there, only about a 1/3 to go.
Me with dirty hands, thats not right…. and a “Foot Photo”
Now on to the edging.
There done, grass removed, edging in a days work down.
Sunday, a simple day, get 1 cubic meter of soil and complete the garden bed..
Thats the story after 1 weekend, the next post will have the plants and construction along with the final photos.
Stay tuned.

New kitchen door handles
These are a couple of the short listed door handles that we might be using in the kitchen.
Actually this is just an excuse to post an image or so to test if I have fixed the image posting.

New House For Us
After many years of playing games in the Rental market, we have bitten the bullet and found ourselves a house. The plan was to stay where we are up till around August and try to buy a place as close to the end of our lease as possible. But in usual US style, we found a place and had it bought within 48hrs.. Impulse or what..
But it is nice. I have some photos from the realestate agent. And they should be good to compare to once we’ve worked our magic on it.
So with no further craping on, here she is.. The yet to be named home for us.
First thing to go will be the curtains and lights.. Then probably the carpet.
Luckily we didn’t have to keep the furniture..
But we have a nice large backyard that will be great for kids, dogs, whatever!
Plans are to get the place early March with notification of a house warming to come mid March.
YAY for us!
