My Daily Travels

Kabu, you wanted to see some photos, well here they are. Not bad for a house that was built in 1910.

Our 2024 porch and patio project is almost finished. We still have a bit of painting to do, and a bamboo blind to hang once it is delivered on Saturday. There has been quite a bit of grunt work, assembling, and climbing during the process of transforming our outdoor space, and my body is now... Sign in to see full entry.
