Ongoing project one

This project has slowed down or stopped if I am to be truthful but ere have been good reasons. Namely one dog! Lucy does take up a bit of time but after she jumped the fence and we had to do something about increasing the height. I say we, my part is the ohhing after while Warren does the grunt work.

Anyway the fence had to be fixed, The front of the house fence had extra slats put on and there wasn't enough to do the side fence so we were lucky enough to pick up some free pallets from Bunnings. This did require Warren to cut them in half to get them home and then he needed to cut them to size before putting them up.

It served its purpose but looked as though it was two lots which it was so he has been on the lookout for another pallet and once one was available he replaced the slates as well as the gate and re did it so that the addition is all the same. All this takes time so nothing has been done on Project one, the TV room for the grandkids or anyone else.

As we had had a steel filing cabinet up there, Warren did do some culling and shredding of paperwork one day while I was at work. last weekend I bought the new TV and DVD. we had planned to buy one unit,TV with DVD but the salesman when he asked why I wanted that, suggested that we get a TV plus a stand alone DVD player, that way if the DVD stuffs up, it would be much cheaper to replace that rather the TV/DVD. That did make sense and even buying the two units was a little cheaper way to go.

We did the Electrician in last week, Warren rang to arrange a time and some one was able to come in two days, wow that is almost unheard of. We needed to get the fan and light fixed in that room. The fan combo light had been fitted only two years ago but this one had stopped working. We thought we may need to buy a new unit but apparently it was the switch that was faulty and the guy was able to wire in, a different system. Would think that it would be cheaper than buying a new fan but we were quite surprised with the bill. He also replaced the oven switch. The account came to $315 for about an hours work but its done thank goodness.

Now we can use the room whenever not just during the day.
