Electric Light Orchestra!

It's been a while, what's been happening?  Mostly electrics. Pulling cables...





And then some plumbing.....the upstairs bathroom toilet.  We are having a wall mounted toilet and so the cistern is inside the wall, turns out you can buy these from England and have them shipped for less than they cost in 'Merica!  It's German, and so I bet that changes after Brexit. 

"vote leave if you want to poop for pounds, vote remain if you want to poop for pennies"...




We've had a lovely sunny weekend, and the girls had their boyfriends from Washington to visit...

I've been getting my garden in order.  I have seeds started in the greenhouse, and my potatoes have been doing some sprouting....

Today they got settled into their bins...

Mr. M is putting me in a new bed, this is going to be home to additional dahlias and cutting flowers, I am dedicating 2 beds to flowers this year....

I also have carrots, radishes, beets and parsnips in the ground, (coincidently we just ate the last parsnip from 2018 today).  Won't be long and we will be enjoying this years harvest.  I still have some overwintering cauliflowers that are now starting to develop heads, they taste so good.  I am so pleased I continued to grow something through the winter, even one thing everything week or so makes everything else taste better.

I did this and I did that....

This week it was some of this, some of that and some of t'other….

More light boxes..



Venting in the downstairs bathroom...



Another sliding door mechanism being put in between the guest bedroom and bathroom.....

Something fancy for internet, telephone cables, our very own media station!

And finally it takes 5 months to put shingles on the wall, and just a couple of minutes to cut them off, another outside socket placement that was previously forgotten....


February was a tough month weatherwise for the Pacific Northwest, snow and rain was in abundance,  We ended up with 19 inches for the month, which nearly beat our last recorded high of  20 inches in October 2016.  Thankfully March has started off the opposite... Soon be Spring!
