gate those kids in.

We had a ball last weekend at our friends' wedding! That's us as glammed up as we'll ever be. Kids got babysat for the reception so we could relax and have a good night. Obviously not a good enough night because Lev was straight into hungover-power tooling Sunday avo. He must be getting frustrated with Illy bolting for the road so he's made a lot of progress on the gate out the front. Here's some pics.

lev dug the hole last week.

welded on some little bits for swinging.

big welder, little welder. (not sure if 4 year
olds should participate in welding)

pole in place. cementing still unfinished.



gate up.

 The gate is going to be covered in wooden palings and then painted to make pretty. We're thinking of welding a decoration to the pole as well. I'm excited. But Illy can still escape at this stage.

Meanwhile the roof remains really unfinished. Lev spent this afternoon removing the old tin off one of the smaller sides and he'll spend this weekend putting the new tin on.

And on a smaller note. Lev's been still at that stupid archway in the dining room. Stripping the paint. It's going to look nice one day.

And that's it for this week. Hopefully will have a new side on our roof by the next blog update. :)
