Mancave Part 1

This wasn't exactly in the plan to be built so soon but it is happening regardless. Can't wait.
車庫~

Free trees!

 The Ji An township office is giving a way 100 free trees to anyone that owns farmland in their jurisdiction. Ivy went into apply for some. We choose trees that could be grown to form a bushy fence line. They will call when we can pick them up. Apparently this local government just wants to encourage people to grow more trees so we are right behind that.
為了鼓勵大家種樹，花蓮縣政府每年都會讓民眾或學校機關單位申請免費的植物
種類還蠻多的喔，正好可以用來做圍籬^^
有興趣的人可以去各鄉公所填寫資料申請喔

Lawn - The Front 9

 This all happened on Saturday and Sunday but we only got internet access at the new house today. Finally we have some control over the amount of dust coming into the house now that the grass is down everywhere.
過了快兩個禮拜在沙漠的生活，每天過著塵土飛揚的日子
房子裡永遠都是土灰.....
上禮拜週末，草皮終於來施工了

完全沒想到我們訂的草皮需要這麼大一台卡車載

有嚇到

 Started in the north west corner of the yard.
開始動工了

大約一兩個小時房子後面已經完工了

下午開始鋪平台前方

照片裡禿禿的那塊是未來的小菜園

 Can't wait to pee on that.
很想下去蘆草

 We have to soak the lawn twice a day at the moment as it hasn't rained all month. Though it looks like it might today.
太陽下山來澆水，別有一番滋味

草皮分兩天施工

第二天中午就完了

 This little brown patch will be a vege garden.

Mirrors

We went to B and Q over the weekend to get some mirrors. Mini Lee installed them today and clearly forgot that half the people who live in this house are not 5 ft 3. Ah well. I can still check out my shoulders in the mirror.

Yard coming together

 The yard does look a bit like a desert right now.

 Hot water heater.

 Fastest way to plant trees is to use a ditch digger.

Seven truck loads of soil were delivered.

Moving Part 2

 At this point we were all about done with moving. So we tried to get as much as we could on one truck. So yes, poor photo, but there is a refrigerator, a closet and a Vespa on the back of that truck.

This was the last truckload of stuff on Sunday morning. That's Mason. Couldn't have done it without his help. Man is a workhorse.

Deck

Haven't had internet access since we moved so am at an internet cafe to upload some pics. The deck got built on Saturday. It still requires on coat of varnish but is already suitable for sitting and sundowners.
