1st Month @ Dawnhaven

Well even though no one had commented on whether to keep the blog going, I thought I better keep it up every now and again just for my own records as it is good to go back over and see what we've been up to...  So here is a house update...

Our first month in the house has been great.  Good to have our own space again and to get our things out of storage.  Our weekends have been busy with a few projects and we've had a few troopers on hand helping out which is AWESOME!!!  The first big project was emptying the pond which is had DANGER written all over it, emptying it was one thing, keeping it empty was quite another and involved Dean digging a drain to put a drainage pipe in.  The boys did a great job getting it to the point it is now, 1/3 filled with scoria.  Now the next part is to fill it right in and turn it into a garden of some sort.    The other mission we had was to put curtains in the house, as it was just too cold without them and not very energy efficient.  So the Mum's helped with that job which was great as it involved a bit of sewing and I'm a bit clueless when it comes to that!
