Country LIfe

You know you live in the country when you look out the kitchen window and the neighbor is sowing rice.
後面那塊地的地主開始整理整地耶
要種稻子嗎??
其他田地的稻子收割了
所以稻子是這時候種的嗎??


Bathroom Doors

We got bathroom doors this morning!
浴室的門都裝上了耶^^


是不是很有鄉村味啊

配上這個黑色窗框....
似乎......重了點
ㄎㄎ
越來越有"家"的感覺了

Front Door

Our front door finally got installed today. It has held up a lot of progress on the house while we wait for it. Because it is the last part of the house making it secure, the builders weren't able to put anything in of value until that lockable door was there. Now they can get to work with wiring, bathroom fixtures and other more expensive things.
我們的大門終於裝上了,終於可以進行室內的工程.....
接下來是油漆........我們已經選好室內油漆的顏色
大約挑了6~7種顏色,我想......
建商應該快瘋了
其實下午已經跟他有點小吵架了
還要繼續跟他奮戰呢~加油!!



I really wanted to take the plastic off to have a good look but Ivy wouldn't let me. Probably not until after the painters have been in.

Still more trees.

Part of our Sunday was spent moving more trees.
這個週末陸續將我們舊家的樹移植到我們新家,真是辛苦的工作(其實真正辛苦的不是我)


 One mango, one cinnamon, one dog, one road hazard.
芒果樹跟肉桂樹
 That's the mango in the ground.
在正中午種下芒果樹 = =
鄰居說這樣不會活,太熱了
所以肉桂樹我們等到傍晚種

We put the cinnamon tree at the very front of the yard by the road. It was given to us by Jenny Peng's mum. Thanks Jenny Peng's mum!
我們都捨不得剪樹葉......也下不了手
所以每天要記得澆很多很多的水


還沒完呢...我們還有快要100多個盆栽要搬
還要再種一些水果樹跟山櫻花^^

More trees.

Tree delivery vehicle.
香水檸檬樹回新家

This lemon tree came from our existing house. We've had it for years but have always kept it trimmed knowing one day it will be moved again. Supplies lots of lemons too. We planted it next to the orange tree creating a citrus corner.
這顆檸檬樹我們已經種了約4~5年了,每年都提供我們豐富的新鮮檸檬(雖然皮厚汁少)不過切片加在水裡泡久了,不會像一般檸檬會變苦,還是新鮮好喝,剛好今年檸檬莫名奇妙的便很貴,我們決定要再種一棵^^,不一樣的品種喔

Tree Planting

 Bit hot for this kind of work really. But it has to be done.
這幾天真的是爆熱
不過,該做的是還是要做
為我們的新家添綠意

 This tree was a donation from Bello and Vanny.
這些樹是我們前幾個禮拜從Bello and Vanny家挖來的
這棵是Vanny的寶貝喔
割愛送給我們
很美吧


That's our orange tree. Also from Bello and Vanny. So now we have 25 banana trees and one orange tree in the ground.

Senor Chiquita

And then this happened....


You're all welcome to join us for banana milkshakes in about a season's time. BYO Milk.
昨天整地完成後
我們家看起來好空曠啊~
要暫時當香蕉農了...
不知道是啥品種的香蕉
使照過了之後
留一些下來種吧

Flat

One of the last jobs before we apply for the final building permit is to flatten the land. The ditch digger already removed all the cement that had been dumped in the front yard and most of it has been replaced with soil. There was more soil arriving this afternoon and I'll get some more pics tomorrow of the final space.
開始整地了,天氣真的很熱,整地整好後,要常常去新家澆水喔



 The ditch digger was kind enough to work around this plant that we put in the ground a month ago.
怪手哥哥很巧妙的避開我們的美人蕉,看看那輪胎痕



Window Panes

Glass went in today. Looking more and more like a home every day.
摺疊門完成!!!上黑色矽利康耶
