Sproing helping by chewing on meep’s ears.
Ahem.
Category: deck
Another weekend, another green expansion :).
See: the sprouting of many things on the ground!
Laugh: at the cunning use of old burglar bars as trellis thingies!
Sneeze: since you just had a cat sitting on your head!
(that last one might just be me…)
Also, meet Trunky. New deck chair.
In further, awesome, news: stepchairder! Chair and ladder! Combined! More than meets the eye!
1/2 of which is HW pressie from Jess – thank you! : )
The true story of a back garden in Cape Town that is Windy (like many places in the Cape).
Oops!
Yes, that is a ladder in the pool.
more deck:
more green:
(i.e. painter dude is back, now that we’ve decided the whole house should be green and not just the bit at the back)
possible pretentious title for above photo: “The transition from a life of Pumpkin Walls to Jolive Green Lifestyle Living, with a Unicorn, as a Young Man, Again Last Summer.”
Umm…
So, Pool Cnuts installed the chlorinator last week and have finally officially Fucked Off.
Yay having a chlorinator, Boo them leaving wires hanging all over the show.
We shall tack them against the wall or summat, eventually.
Here it is:
Shiny!
Deckage continues apace:
(trying to keep up that whole photo a day in the same place thing)
Exciting times!
Also: we has umbrella. Lol.
So, we’re now putting in some deckage.
A big bit just outside the kitchen and around the pool.
And a more ickle outside the guest workshop room thing.
The frame support hoohaa is pretty much done, now they just need to plank it – yay!

In continued pool-company-is-incredibly-shit news: four weeks after coating the inside of the pool has passed and it’s time for the salt water chlorinator to be installed. The pool has been available for use the whole, but apparently the SWC had to wait.
So, we call and book them for Thursday and they say yes.
We come home Thursday night to find no SWC. Of course.
We do find, however, a creepy-crawler-cleaner thing in the pool.
Friday morning we call and they’re very apologetic, promise that the SWC will be there Friday, and deny all knowledge of the CCC.
*sigh*
Let’s see what happens this week.
Once this is finished, we want nothing more to do with them, ever again (quite understandable, I think).
I’m almost hoping they call and want to discuss a pool maintenance plan so I can reply with:
Ahahahahahahahahahahaha. Haaa. Ahahahahahaha!
What, seriously?
Not a fucking chance.
*hangs up*
Oh, teh LOL.
