Our New House

Remember the garden bed we were making during the winter? Well hubby didn't get to finish mowing all the lawn on the two blocks but he has more or less finished the bed. He will play with the rocks over time, usually by the time he has finished his rocks look nice.

This is our new house with warts and all. You can see we have painted the board on the front of the side verandah, eventually we will paint the other end, then the side board last and do something with that gutter.

We definitely need security or screen doors on that door and two others. Mostly to keep out snakes and take advantage of the cool night air and to help with flies.

As you can see we have a chicken pen ready make. However it doesn't look good directly behind the pond, plus you can't get in easily to feed. At the moment the feeders are on the outside so you don't actually have to go in, but that is for flying birds I think.

You can see we have a new switchboard, and our unpainted garden bench that I got some ideas for from Titania as hers is lovely.

My camellias are slowly growing along the verandah, though probably too many for that spot. I want to start clipping the box plants as well. We haven't been keeping up to the weeding out the back.

Just remember it is a very cheap house. I haven't seen one as cheap on domain lately. We still have a little work to do before we or others can live in it. Hopefully it will start this weekend.
