IMG_7723Got to love action shots, ten points for anyone who can spot Jelly in the same picture.

IMG_7722…and we never did share those photos we took when that building in Silverwater caught on fire ages ago did we? It was a plastics building so lots of black smoke and this is what we could see from our house.

IMG_7798 We picked up the swinging chair from Andrew and Mala’s place and installed in our tree!

 

 

IMG_7799 Plus we got the cold water hooked up to the vanity!

 

 

IMG_7800 We also bought a heap of stuff for our new kittens which are nearly ready to leave the litter!

Got our metal fascia cover and gutter. 48m of each. We have about 30m of cover up so far, including most of the hard bits, so the rest should go up quickly.

We got a big ladder to help us paint and stuff around the house. Its got adjustable legs for use on uneven ground. Works an absolute treat!

Just a few bashes with the sledgy and a bit of a push…

I knew there was a reason I hadn’t started to replace it myself yet…

 

IMG_7741 IMG_7742 IMG_7743 IMG_7744  IMG_7746 IMG_7747

There is one more section to go, but that house is also housing commission owned, so fingers crossed ;)

Note: I know the pics are fuzzy, must be a dodgy setting on the camera
