So the work continues. Our free cubby house that i found thru facebook is nearlly completed & the the girls love . We have used all reclyed timber to completed & so far has only cost us $20It is nearly fully lined the ceiling as well to try & keep it as cool as possible .Next it will need to be painted ,lino put down & then we can decorate the inside .
An extra window has also been put in which has added heaps of light & more venterlation
The backyard is looking rather good still more fill is needed but the end is insight. Compared to what it looked like a couple of years ago it is so much better . The girls had a lot of fun under the sprinkler this weekend , I couldnt put up any photos as they had no clothes on .
We do need more plants the back corner garden . We thought it was looking fine until I discovered that what I thought was groundcover was in fact a nasty weed that was overtaking everything .Hopefully I have got it all
One thing we have found with this place is that roses grow so well
Our mary Mckillop rose that was given to us from a lovely relative , a nun , has survived multiple moves & gives us beautiful pink blooms .
The Daniel morcombe rose ( http://www.knightsroses.com.au/daniel-morcombe-rose.htm ) is also thriving . We also have a couple of smaller rose bushes that we sneaked out of the old house that are also doing very well in this lovely weather we are having
We also have a new resident a little lizzard that lives in the rose area & except for today can nearlly always be found under the Mary mckillop bush . Its is lucky that our old staffie Tasha is now blind because she used to love chaseing lizzards especially blue tongued
My next job is to work on the entertainment area , We need to expand the paved area & need a covered in area to put the paddling pool up for the girls . only thing is since last summer the pool has gone missing . It cant be hard to find as we dont have a lot of storage areas
