It's been forever since I've blogged. Our lives are still far too hectic and really, there doesn't seem to have been much progress here at all to report!
I still haven't had much luck getting driveways/slabs in, still no battens, nor have we built mans-land (the shed) for the Darling Husband. The gardens are still bare, but I have had a crack at getting rid of the lantana down the back!
Exhausting stuff! I promise to post some photos soon to really emphasise how ghastly it is!
And as for a fence, waste-not want-not, my Dear Mother replaced hers recently and had 17m of posts & palings to dispose of. Whilst it isn't the fence we originally wanted, it is a wooden picket fence and well, in these economic times, I think we'll make do with it quite nicely. There are some palings that we won't use, as they're either split or damaged, so there is still some expense with the buying of new palings and gates. Mostly though, it will be weekends of effort - we'll need to sand them back and paint, then erect.
I still haven't managed to sell the idea of outsourcing to the Dear Husband. Too handy for his own good!
But, I do have a clothesline. YAY! Who would have thought that something so simple, would bring so much pleasure.
.. you're right, I need a life!
