Still Working Hard!!


Well, we're still at it with our house. We've done a bit more than the photos show - currently putting up the plasterboard sheets. One of the photos show Jacob (my boy) watching me work and thinking, "When the heck are you gonna finish this house, Dad?". Maybe Feb 09...

Since my last post, we've also been on a Snow Trip down to Mt. Bulla which was crazily fantastic. Almost busted my leg trying to snow board, but it was awesome. I don't think anyone has ever fallen over more that I did - but who cares... I WENT SNOWBOARDING!! The kids absolutely loved it too.

Currently, whilst building, we're living out of a caravan and a granny flat type shed I've built on our block. Absolutely love living on a big block of dirt compared to our last handerchief sized parcel - got room to run, breath, fly a kite (hey, I'm still a big kid), and grow veggies and fruit trees.

Actually, we just planted some fruit trees - Emporer Mandarins, Persimmons, Guava, and Passion Fruits. First three should take about 2-3 years before we get some fruit but who care, we're not moving from here for yonks - so I've got time. We're also just about to do up a u-beaut veggie patch which Jennifer will tenderly nurture. Can't wait to eat some home-grown goodness... have you noticed how the fruit and veg's at the shops like Coles and Aldi are garbage? A lot of them are generally rotten in 2-3 days... probably been kept in a frozen 'fresh' state for a number of months.

So... what's everyone else up to at the moment? Let's get some posts happening. If I can take 2 minutes to do this, so can you. Take care, Johnny.
