Avocado!

So far we have two orange trees, one lemon, one guava, one cinnamon, one avocado and 25 banana trees.

More planting

 We got round to planting some more fruit trees today. The above guava tree was from Jenny Peng's Mum's farm.
上個星期跟我的超級好友去他爸媽家的農地挖了一些樹苗回來
這顆芭樂樹是Jenny爸爸培育出來的
趁著者幾天的大雨，泥土還很濕潤
將樹苗種下去

 This lemon tree we moved from our current house. We thought we killed it but with all the rain of the last two days it has
原本以為快不行的香水檸檬，意外的發了很多芽

This plant was a gift from Dr Kate. In Chinese it is called a golden shower and has beautiful flowers. Clearly the name in Chinese doesn't have the same connotations that the English does.
這棵是阿勃勒樹苗，是學生家長送的
以後會開一串串的小黃花喔，遠看會很像黃金雨，很美
所以我們種在木平台旁邊，以後可以觀賞^^

I'm board.

 Ivy had the cool idea of putting a blackboard in the kitchen to write notes and scribble. Derik who owns the International English Center had a spare one lying around so we got it, chopped it in half and installed half in the kitchen and half in the office.

裝黑板是我的主意，不過~以後最常留言的應該是L先生吧(因為她很囉嗦，我又常忘記事情)
我們請李爸爸將黑板對切
一塊放廚房，一塊放在辦公室
室內是品慢慢增加中^^

Staircase completed

We went to the house this morning. It's a typhoon day so no work. We put a second layer of varnish on the stairs then took a break for lunch before going back to put the third and final layer on. I like it a lot. Ivy's dad said it looks like the kinda staircase that you would see outdoors. Which is kinda true but it has a very country home feel to it so we're quite satisfied with the result.
這兩天放颱風假，外面下與颳風，正好適合做一些室內工作
我們將木板都磨過一遍後，上平光透明漆
上漆後，木頭表面比較不會有一層灰灰的感覺
質感有好一些
其實我們誤將室外木板裝在室內
但釘都釘好了
只好多上點透明漆來安慰自己  T^T

Need of these two pics are an accurate depiction of the stairs' actual colour. It's somewhere in between.

Floor finished!

Ivy's dad finished this today. I think it looks great. The final step was to place a small skirting board around the base. I am guessing this was the most fiddly part of the job. The colour is slightly different to the flooring but not enough to worry about. Thanks to Ivy's old man!
感謝老爸!!辛苦了五天，幫我們把樓梯跟二樓地板做的這麼的漂亮，沒有你不行啊~

Flooring Part 2

 Bedroom flooring got finished today.
主臥室鋪完了，明天會進行收邊

 As did the walk in wardrobe.
更衣室

The office should get done tomorrow. We have to go and pick up the edging tomorrow morning and then it is done.
換鋪辦公室，老爸盡然將鋸台拆解後，搬到陽臺施工
真貼心~謝謝你，老爸^^

Flooring

Mini Lee started work on the master bedroom flooring today.
老爸!!!辛苦你了。噴淚中....

 There is a base of polystyrene to keep moisture out and then some thin board to raise the height to the height of the staircase and then the floorboards. I like the colour, I think it's a nice contrast to the burnt red walls.
