Yesterday he got all the posts in the ground for the fence, and the two bigger posts up for the shade sail.
Today ... all going well he will get it finished.
Meanwhile, I shall be moving all this ...
ABOVE: All of this is going back in the 'old' sewing room.
And then I shall move Griffin back into a bedroom down the far end of the house.
He's NOT happy about moving, but having his room up by the front door wasn't working for me. And at the end of the day, I'm the one home all day long... so I'm the one who has to put up with the messy teenager's room ... in my face all the time.
And NO, I don't believe in closing doors to hide shit. I hate closed doors. I don't know why... I just do.
Stew pruned back the third tree last night, I've not had a chance to see it yet. So I will go look soon. Maybe we don't have to chop it down after all? I know Stew isn't keen on chopping it down.
And with that .... I'm off to get the day started. Lots to do...
ONWARD...
TIRED! Been on the go all morning.
It took a few hours to get the teenager moved and all my sewing stuff in the front bedroom... but it's done:
I'm now taking time out for lunch and a relax, then will be
Stew had been at it all day... and apart from some fine tuning (replacing the red straps with chain), the shade sail is up and the fence is finished.
It's been an excellent weekend.
Very, very quiet in blog land though! Everyone must be busy with summertime/end of year stuff.
I can't believe how fast this year has gone!
It will be Christmas soon and I still have made no plans!
Signing off for the day... fairly early but never mind. No one is around anyway.
Totally understand why you would want a room you are in charge of near the front door! Griffin will live :)

Of course you can copy the garden photo... it wasn't mine to begin with... I gave credit to where it came from on the blog.

ReplyDeleteThanks Chris ,,Much appreciated
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome change in the garden. Good ol Stew. He's a good worker! I love your new sewing room. So much closer to the kitchen there. Love your house.
ReplyDeleteNext you'll need paving stones :) . When you get your car back into the garage, Stew can use that spot. win/win !!
ReplyDeleteI commented earlier but have trouble with the new phone.
ReplyDeleteI hate closed doors but hate closed curtains/ blinds even more.
My husband would choose salt water lol. He always jokes he can’t afford to get rid of me

My kids doors are always closed because they are right next to the front door too. No extra rooms to shuffle them around to though!
