Another week, a bit more progress...

Another week, a bit more progress... Monday was more time spent on the computer and finally he got his parts list all completed for the ducting on the heating system.

Then he fitted the famous door from last week....

And then the rest of the week was spent working on the trim for the windows, we have decided on cedar which we will be painting white, that should work well against the cedar shingles.

Lots of woodworking, which apparently Mr M is really enjoying....

You cut all the pieces of wood, they are all connected with dowels...

And glued together....

And a practice fitting....

Next job painting!

Then come Thursday afternoon Mr. M got slightly distracted by a craigslist advert and off he went to buy another lathe... not sure why he needs another lathe but apparently this was an absolute bargain, it's a deal, it's a steal, it's the sale of the bloody century - deja vu! NEVER heard that before... anyway Friday was spent collecting it and installing.... It's a real beaut!

Lots of stuff going on in the garden, my dahlias and scatter seeds are coming along nicely...

 

Nice neat rows for my root veggies...



My sweet Williams are starting to flower...

My redcurrant bush is full of currents and netted from the birds....

Our property is full of wild irises including this huge cluster that rooted itself outside my greenhouse...

Free flowers inside, who doesn't love that....

My time this winter spent around the fire pit hasn't been wasted as I have been working on my garden art, each letter tirelessly burnt in using a special tool invented by Mr M, involving rebar and a handle.  The ladybirds are reused and recycled from another piece of garden art that I brought about 10 years ago that finally fell apart this winter...

 

 

And finally, welcome Butch and Barb to the flock.  Huge Thanks to our neighbor Butch for selecting and babysitting and then delivering them to me this weekend....
