They can dig.
They can’t arrive on time, though – they were an hour late!
So far unimpressed, but we shall see…
(last one for today. got a bit carried away…)
green!
plants!
stash in the car, driven from Kalk Bay.
Before and after
all made by Teh Jo, with a some small manual labour assistance from me.
woo!
awesome, eh?
herewith a selecton of photographs of bits of the kitchen that we have tweaked for maximum functionality and shinyness.
glass hanging hoohaas, two of ‘em, one on either side of the sink;
extra, half-depth, shelves added to built-in cupboard to stash mahoosive amount of Thai food related paraphernalia; boxy shelvey things above the stove and strange hanging basket thingy.
just when you thought it was safe to go back to the internets…
ahem.
well, we’re moved in and bouncingly happy. :-)
we’re still shuffling things around a bit, but all is good.
there are a couple of projects on the go in terms of wrenschovationage.
- pool!1
- deck!2
- furniture!3

Pool dudes arrive on Monday, so expect a series of photos of my hole, getting bigger every day.

1 – the plans finallycame through. two and a half months at council. for two and half stamps and signatures. ho hum. but they’re through!
2 – waiting for pool dudes to be finished. insert your lingo here re “critical path.”
3 – some we are making (i.e. Jo is making. She Teh Skills to make stuff), some we’re speccing for the cheap wood stuff guys to build (the guys who made our bookshelves).
4 – front garden being done (one side of), back garden waiting for trampling feet builder people to be gone. i.e. after 1 and 2 above.
