Shade sail for Dusty

 

Purchased from ALDI

I’ll follow the sun

Pixie’s basket is missing???



It’s usually next to the toys…

Collapsed roller shutter

This is the rumpus room window, it's the largest window of the house and the roller shutter here is very heavy resulting in this slat giving way!

I've got the step ladder out but not much I can do at this stage  we will need assistance.

UPDATE: June 2023

12 years on and nothing has been done.

Do we have mice in the house?

Whatever it is someone found it quite tasty.

It’s a doorstopper: one of two that ET purchased the day before for the main bedroom and bathroom.

Chewed carpet

Vehicle upgrade

We are upgrading ET’s 1997 Lancer GLXi to a 2006 model.

Roof repairs

Back around Christmas I did some roof maintenance, the ridge cap tiles (in particular) were letting water in and badly needed re-pointing. So off to Bunnings to purchase a bucket of Selleys Point Works Gen II and then up on the roof on a cooler day with the bucket of pointing mix, small trowel and knee pads etc.

No need to be to fussy up here it’s a two story house, so I put on plenty. This stuff is good, great bonding and very strong – like granite. I still need to do the corners but before this the Dutch gables need my attention.

This is the south end Dutch gable.

This is the north end, nowhere near as bad but still needs to be replaced.

The weather boards need to be cleaned up and painted as well.

I am tempted to pressure wash the tiles but something tells me to just leave them alone. As I said it’s a two story house and you can’t really see much of the roof from ground level.
