For the past few weeks Annette & I have had a time of rest and relaxation – yeah right! We headed up to Oxford after the Christmas break to do some home renovations on the house…
We built an internal wall in the garage which took Bill & I a couple of days to construct. This will provide some separation for the tenants in the unit and to provide a secure area for Mum & Bill to store some of our belongings as well as theirs and a workshop area.
While we were up in Oxford we also built a porch area off of the front door with our bargain of the week, the glass panel we picked up from the ECO Store for $20 and built a frame around it to provide a feature wall which doesn’t detract from the house.
Upon arriving back in Invercargill we have caught up on some of the home maintenance jobs on the to do list, barking and completing the brick garden edging around the rose garden. Getting the lawns done and cutting back the hedge yet again…
I must say though that it is hugely rewarding once the tasks have been completed to sit back and enjoy what has been done – you get a sense of how God must have felt after doing all that creation stuff. Maybe that is why we find rest and relaxation once the job is completed and when we look back on what we have done not during it…
