Twelve Steps To Plan

And another project is finished.

The weather is now cooler and the humidity has mercifully dropped from the summer stinker we had this season. Working outside all day is a easy and a pleasure, but a nice soaking bath at the end would be the best ending to the day, which is another project for the future. We will remove the shower cubicle in the 'cottage' and relocate it to the guest room ensuite and install a huge bath in it's place. Mmmm Heaven!

.

The stairs that were going to be thrown out at work were salvaged and brought home and are now in place. A bit of hard yakka with a pick and shovel, a few boards & blocks and a couple of loads from the cement mixer and (taadaa!) we have fantastic new steps down from the lawn to the orchard.

.

This will make it a lot easier (and quicker) for us to get to the orchard as we no longer have to walk to the end of the embankment or walk up and down the bank helping to erode it.

you have got to love recycling, salvaging and reinvention!
