Snow

I wanted to put of some pictures of the snow we've had at the house this week. Here's the front of the house, the back garden and out of our bedroom window.

Coving the ceiling pt. 2

Spent the afternoon doing ceiling coving with Lu's dad. The walls bulge a bit so the 45 degree corners we've been cutting don't exactly meet up but that's what coving cement is for :)

Saw a bunch of electricians and plumbers this morning for a couple of odd job quotes.

Painting the kitchen pt. 2

Finally got the first coat of blue down on the walls of the kitchen. Here's a pic of Lucie while we were painting. Need to get a second coat on now and paint all the woodwork white, that yellowly colour is horrible. Also painted the cupboards and ceiling white and got a new roof light.

Moving furniture

Andrew and Steve helped us move all our furniture from our current house, bed, bikes, shelving etc to the new one. Also went and got out new bed and drawers from Lu's folks and brought it all here. Really need to finish up the lounge and main bedroom so we can start unpacking.

Dump

We hired a long wheel base transit van today. I recommend Kendall hire not Thrifty, they're cowboys... and idiots but that's another story. We took a heap of junk to the dump today, old cupboards, dead pot plants, old wrought iron gate etc. Didn't realise you can't usually take a van to the dump but they didnt charge us so that was good.

Painting the kitchen

We're giving the kitchen a lick of paint until we can renovate it. We're thinking light blue walls with white cabinets and woodwork. Much better than the nasty green coloured walls that were in there.

New side gate

The new side gate is finally finished too. The old one was a wrought iron gate about waist height and anyone could just walk into the garden if they wanted too. This one is about 8ft high now!
