I left you last week with 3 of the 4 walls up.  Before we can put the back wall in, we cut a whole in the passenger side wall to allow access to the inside of the box.  This will be where the door will be fitted but at this Continue Reading

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last blog and a lot has been going on.  I flew to Melbourne and spent a week visiting the kids and a real highlight was having a 2 night sleepover with the grandy, Lincoln.  Ol’ Grammy G and Lincoln were left to Continue Reading

We’ve had another steady week chipping away at various jobs.   On Tuesday we travelled down to Brisbane to pick up our shower. What a day for it, it poured rain most of the day and Brisbane had record rainfall.  We weren’t to be deterred though and were lucky enough Continue Reading
