haha

 

im a set and forget type of guy. once the plants are in and settled there on there own to survive. I dont do gardening. 

[.Stripes.]

^I thought that...until I had my own garden. While I was renting it I just wanted to keep it alive so I didn't lose my bond. But now that I own the place I strangely developed this desire to see it flourish and actually look good. Bought myself a lawnmower and actually get a lot of satisfaction out of doing things in the garden, however small it is.

 

I'm getting old...

haha yer once you start enjoying gardening your getting old

 

im just too busy. I replaced the grass with stones so I dont have to mow anymore (whoop whoop!!) and then low maintenance plants will go along the fence line.

 

I have a 8 month old. I rather spend my spare time keeping 3 cars up to a respectable standard than mowing and standing in dog sh*t hidden in ankle high grass.

Doing a fiddly trim job in the dining/family area

 

Wife loves the timber panelling look, so I've painted the lower ~1250mm of the wall full strength shade of the main colour (hog's bristle) - main is 1/4 strength.

Did the chair rail in a 92mm wide profile, and now doing the panelling rectangles from a small (32x16mm) profile.

Really not looking forward to bogging holes and doing top coat painting...and the window frame which now sticks out like dog's balls.

I know 99% on here would prefer more modern look but I don't mind it, and am even enjoying doing it after a slow start.

 

Plus getting this out of the road gives me extra leverage for time spent on the ute.  

 

Stained window frame will need to be painted, blind may well get swapped out too

Whole house used to have stained trim including skirting etc, slowly getting rid of it.

 

 

Fatarse mirror (making a support for it and then hanging it was a job in itself) is basically a permanent fixture so I've cut the trim to butt hard into it to make it look like it goes underneath it.

I find it easier to do my fiddly trim jobs in the shower. Much easier to clean up[emoji23]
