Project weekend

Seeing as we have stopped to spend a few days in a very nice and secluded location we decided to do a few projects that needed doing.

Re-potted the garlic and put the spring onions and radish outside.




 Re-potted the strawberries into this handy  plant holder, 2 holders takes 3 plants each and they are stackable.



















Fitted the new satellite dish onto the aerial pole although this is only a temporary site for it.




                          New half door fitted to bedroom/living room.















Made a balsa model of our boat from a kit.

Dog's playing, it's mine no it's not it's mine.
