You know the noise a dentist’s drill makes when he sadistically drills holes in your teeth? Well that was the noise W made when he angle grinded (ground?) our tiles into a straight line only ten times worse, drove me outside the house.
Frank seems to be having a few problems with angles, particularly with the edges of tiles so W had to do a bit of fixing up over the weekend.
As you can see in the photo – Frank hasn’t managed to cut the tile around the edge very neatly so W redid it, a whole heap better.
I must say, the tiles are looking good and have really lightened up the entrance way and kitchen. With the spots in it is going to look awesome.
We spent much of Sunday morning checking on the plumbing, tightening the bits that were leaking and soldering the copper bits, not having much to do whilst W was doing this I amused myself by taking a few up close and personal pictures. Getting in touch with the makro setting of my camera.
Cool, huh? (I love the colours)
We also bought several Dovyalis caffra Kei apple trees to use as a hedge for the back garden. The existing vibracrete isn’t high enough, and although there are some wooden posts in the ground which could be used to raise it, we’ve heard that the Kei Apple tree makes a good fence (has some really nasty thorns on them too) and one can make jam or chutney from the fruit. That is if we can get to them before the birds do!
We also have a lime tree, W mentioned awhile back that he’d like to have one so I bought him one as an early housewarming present. He read that the best way to plant them is in a pot with one third soil and the rest bark. Who knows maybe one of these days we’ll be eating Kei Apple jam and lime marmelade.
