There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort. ~Jane Austen


This was what my house looked like after I painted it green, I can´t find an image of what it looked like before then - will probably need to scan something in so we can see the transition - at the time I thought that this was a tremendous improvement on what it looked like before.

Now it looks like this - so much better, think what it will look like in a few years time - with new windows and perhaps better gravel out the front.
Today was finishing things off... painting the old cement wall around the grill area.
And I did the second coat on the back / southern wall... note the hole that used to be near the window on the far right is no longer there. Maggi, became master bricky today.

The transformation is incredible. And just look at all the trees in your neighborhood. You make living there look so inviting. Enjoy the fruits of your labor :) Now you can cast a blanket on the lawn, and have a picnic with wine and cheese :)

Exactly - now all I am waiting for is some sunshine. We had one nice day whilst doing this - the rest of the time has been overcast and/or foggy. Still, that was probably for the best, otherwise no work would have been done and only beers and sunshine soaked up

Fabulous fabulous stuff. I never noticed the trees growing in Amma's yard before. When were they planted?
