  • my labour day.

    i started the labour day holiday early in the morning making a table and chair out of the boxes of my water heater and sink in the new house, dicussing the details with the husb and  my ID.   it went a lot smoother than i thought it would and guess having spent hours the day before discussing with the husb helped.   the floor has been levelled! living room master bedroom toilet half wall done! now missing the glass piece and a tiny kerb.  kitchen looking really messy at the moment. the other part of the living room..   Its really quite fun seeing everything slowly coming into pieces..…
