Went over to Clive now that we're at level 3.

Access to the car park and walkway is pedestrian only, added a couple of minutes to the walk.

Well, I've more or less finished painting, the roof is done!!!!!

Newer section of roof could do with a 3rd coat, it is perfectly acceptable but there is the odd spot that a bit of the red shows trough. Not going to happen for 12 months though.

I even painted the garage to match the house, quite a radical colour change from when I built it 20 years ago....
and no, the original colour scheme was not my decision, that's my story and I'm sticking to it....

I did a bit of a Tony this morning, trimmed a tree. Really need to get this thing to stop growing...

Ladder is at 7 meters, goes to 9 meters. A couple more meters of growth and I'll need a longer ladder.....

So chainsaw next :)

Well we selling up.

Had enough time for a change. At this stage we looking around Pukekohe and surrounds. I don't know about the rest of you guys buts 50's suck.
Just tired of constant noise around me and jobs that are stressful and managed by guys in their 30/40 with so much energy to burn it wears me out just listing to them.

Cant do anything as no cash and we go to a job we hate to pay the bank.

Be nice to see the South Island before I drop dead over stress :)

Buy a mobile home/caravan, spend the rest of you life doing seasonal work and freedom camping. It's a great way of life.

I see that Auckland camera centre has updated their website.

I have also been looking in how to store the camera equipment since moving in to a new house it's all over the place.

How do you guys store your gear?
