We wasted no time as we hit the ground back in Wellington.
We had tried to get our side door replaced before we left, but it got pushed out to the Monday after we returned.
The project was partnered with what started as a simple post replacement on our front retaining wall. That snowballed into replacing all the posts and then into rebuilding the entire wall 🤣
There will be some replanting in the spring for sure.
And the door is still not completed…
The wrong size door was delivered and we’re waiting for the correct one.
But the plasterer patched the kitchen and the gib we added by the side door.
And the electrician installed the extraction fan in our bathroom and ran wires for our dragon lights. The extraction fan works a bit too well! It not only sucks all the water vapor out, but it also pulls out all the warmth from the heater. Doh!
And I have finally been able to start unpacking a bunch of our fragile stuff and filling our new (used) glass cabinet!
Meanwhile, winter has arrived with a vengeance. We have had some very cold, wet and windy weeks. I shouldn’t complain as we did get to skip winter last year. With the timing of our move we went from US spring and summer to NZ spring and summer, before getting to this winter.
We saw the new Deadpool film. Lots of fun. Warning- super violent!
Watched Star Wars -The Acolyte - and did not care very much for the story.
San Diego Comic Con was last week and it felt very odd not being there.
Maybe next year…
Not much planned for August and September. We will continue to work on organizing the house - another closet build out and likely more painting. Hoping to begin some picture hanging. The walls feel very bare, and we are itching to get our art collection up.
Cheers for now... 😁
