Jigsaw 7 - European Street

 I acquired this jigsaw for free, and it is only 500 pieces. Not my usual size but I really liked the picture so thought, why not?

It had some fun shapes to the pieces so I didn't mind a change to the normal.

Jigsaw 6 - Electric Shop

 Another one in the shop series. They are the same design but just the content changes. Very easy to do and just like the cheese shop.

Jigsaw 5 - Blooms and Bouquets

 A very old one but still cute to complete. Do have some others from this same series but one was missing a piece (so that got thrown out) and the other one just does not inspire me at the moment, so it can stay in the pile until another day.

Obviously, all the greenery was difficult to do but I don't mind a challenge

Bye Bye Roof

 Through the years work has been completed on the house, mainly inside, but some outside (leveling the garden and adding a deck). On the outside, once the deck was completed, I have always wanted a permanent gazebo/pergola, somewhere that can be a dry area to sit when it is warm but maybe raining. The other thing I have always wanted was a fly screen door on the back door that leads on to the deck.

In the warmer months of the year, which here in NZ equals at least 6-7 months I like having the back door open to allow air flow, but the flies get in an annoy me.

Several years ago, I did look into a screen door but the small, angled roof over the back door stopped this from happening. Now though, I have found a suitable pergola to attach to the deck and so the roof can come down

This will allow the pergola to be placed close to the back door and allow cover that the roof gave when stepping out and not immediately getting wet in bad weather.

I may have only been waiting for something like this to happen for the past 10 years!

Although now, I can maybe start looking at the future of one day getting a screen door on there.
