A Very Handy Man

Stephen and Ray working on the internal wall.

Stephen certainly had plenty to keep him busy while we were back in Invercargill. He managed to have made and replaced the spouting on two Skyline garages, build a tank stand and fit it up to harvest the rain off a shed, build an internal wall at the new education centre at the Community Nursery as well as help tidy up around our property in Rakiura Parade.
Even I got roped in to help with the painting.

News from the Nursery

Our friend Jim is very happy with his tank and tank stand, Irene and her sister in law are most appreciative of their now 'not leaking' garages and Chris at the Nursery is very pleased with the progress being made with her new classroom space.

Jim and his new tank.

Rakiura Parade is looking very tidy with the veggie gardens put to bed for the winter with peas straw, and the driveway area where the pine trees were removed starting to take shape with lots of new plantings. There is still plenty of firewood to cut up but it has been good to get 40+ natives planted to fill in the big gap that was created when the pines came down.
