Trees

First trees were planted today! First a quick visit to a garden fare that wasn't really up to much, then to a garden centre where the fence plants came from and home with five pine trees, two apple trees, one rowan and two hanging, decorative apple trees! Pine trees are planted and the rest will follow later. Tomorrow Mr B and Ukki will be planting grass seed. The small greens in between the pines are called "Blue Carpet".  

Outdoors

Ok, about time to start updating the blog again! The house might be ready but outside work has only begun.

Here photos of the latest developments:

200 pieces of Thuja occidentalis Brabant plants arrived in our garden on Friday. They were all planted over the weekend and now we have a lovely fence going around the site. 

Here the bin/bicycle shed, not quite finished, needs painting and slats where you can see through at the moment.

Carport has slats now on the garden side. The inner walls are still waiting for plywood but that can't be done before the electrics are done.

 

 The decking area at the back has been partly cladded and glassed to make it more sheltered. Also still needs to be painted and windos need the similar type of lattice than our actual windows have.

 

Next on the list is liming the ground before the grass seed can be planted. And Stone paving is planned, just need to decide now in what colour and form... also trees will be planted as well as a flowerbed in the front of the house so more to follow...

Upstairs Bathroom

Mrs B is reporting back again... after several

weeks of recovering from building and moving

and cleaning and sorting out and arranging 

and and and... 

And there's still plenty to do but thought I will 

post some photos of the finished product, 

starting with the upstairs bathroom.   

Here a few photos, most of the house is still a bit of a mess so more to follow!

Moved in!

We have FINALLY moved in! First night we spent here was Monday the 7th. The week has been pretty chaotic; clearing out one place, trying to find place for things in the new house, cleaning and more cleaning, sorting out the last bits and bobs that aren't done yet, looking after kids and doing a full time job... but here we are, exhausted but so happy :-)

Just took some photos thinking to update the blog but my magic stick to transfer the photos from camera to computer is still in Metsätie so that will have to wait until tomorrow!

Tomorrow the city council are coming to do a moving in inspection, so exciting day ahead, hopefully they'll give us permission to move in :-)
