Anyway. I just thought I would share those helpful tips.
We've been a bit slack here with updates on Squirrel & Puffin, but things have been pretty crazy... uni, placement, part time work... most weeks this is 6 days a week, and sometimes... 7 days. Blegh. And sometimes people (just general people, no-one I work with, more the people you deal with!) are just so mean or rude and it's so disheartening! And then Puffin had one of his front teeth ripped out and now he has to wear a plate with three fake teeth on it until he gets implants! So much dental, so much wow! But anyway! About a month or so ago, our good friend Mitchy gave us a few days of his time and made us some fabulous garden boxes for our pear trees!
So our magnificent house, resplendent with pear trees but no garden boxes....
And since we weren't home when Mitch was kind enough to make these for us, some progress shots of how Puffin oiled these bad boys up, and how they came up.
And finally, the finished product! We love Mitchy, he is a clever bugger and we are lucky to have such an awesome mate. We're going to enlist him again as part of the 6 month plan, to build the frame for our pillars, and also to make some new steps for us, to match the garden boxes. We're also thinking of adding another thing to the front yard... some extra concrete to make the driveway better for two cars. At the moment, my little blue beast there has to trample over the last corner of grass. We're also considering starting fresh with the grass, and borrowing Dad's rotary hoe to dig it all up and begin again. But we will see. We can't wait for the weather to warm up and the outside work to begin!
What do you think bloggers. are we on our way to a better looking front of house?
