Whilst in New Zealand the strong winds that caused so much of the bushfire problems had also blown over our metal arch.

  Jo's first go at a feature wall in our bedroom. Personally I think my shelf sets it off nicely.

The Beginning, brickwork by Calum. This took me 2 days.

Lesson here: Bricklaying sucks and it's harder than it looks..

Jo did the painting .I built the 4 shelves,

New tiles out the front, check out the house pages for what it looked like before


Well the pergola has finally had the ugly concrete covered with tiles (click here for a look before) .
The design was Jodie's and Neville (with a bit of help from me) has done a most excellent job.
Now for some decent outdoor furniture (Nev's Our next project).
