Dad’s Bed Build for Livvy!

I spent a solid day in the workshop last Saturday knocking up a new ‘big girl’ bed for Olivia. Check it out! We’ll move it to her room this week and with a bit of luck she’ll actually sleep in it without getting up!

The weekend project…

The mission for the weekend was to create a garden out the front of the office and add a covered awning to the entrance. It all needs painting but should make the front a  little nicer…

A little pruning!

After the 130kph winds last night we woke to a little bit of pruning work. After spending the day helping mates, we got off pretty lightly! Just another adventure!

The ‘Trenching’ weekend!

This weekends mission was to trench about 250m around all the paddocks, lay pipe and sort the connections ready for the troughs later this week. So we can have water, taps and hoses to all the paddocks! We hired a trencher from Hirequip and went hard! All done!!! Two days in the baking sun but it’s all worth the effort!

Climbing wall done!

Just put the polish on the new bed with a climbing wall! It’s now the coolest kids bed ever! Jack’s loving it and it makes his room work a lot better so it’s a win-win all around!

Jack’s Bed–Done!

We may add a rock climbing wall on the side but other than that, the bed is done! Jack loves it and it’s quite a fun place for him to play as well. I’ve built it to come apart if we ever move house.

This is the cubby-hole which he loves playing in.

The Robot gets musical!

Those of you with a keen eye will notice that Jack and I have added a keyboard and speaker to the arm of the robot we’re building. We’re just about to add an FM radio to the other arm and then we’ll start attacking the arms with servos to get them moving!

Last of the EQ repairs!

The stable concrete was cracked from the earthquake. Good to see it getting sorted today! Should look great!

Weekend Fence Building!

We spent the weekend building a fence/gates out the front and wind break mesh down the side of the laneway to keep out Livvy in! She keeps trying to escape down the drive!
