Orange boug

Jamaican Orange boug appears to have taken in its new spot:

This was January - 3 months ago:

Reno - Stage 2 - Step 2 - Plans for carport and shed

Will go in this position...(this shot taken 2015)

Blue paint lines to show where the carport and back extension will meet.

Reno - Stage 2 - Step 1 - Electricians #1

Strybos Electricians putting in sensor lights, coach lights, moving the cables from the power pole, installing an outside point or two, affixing new light shades, and fixing power points inside the house.

Dan and Zach (the younger). Jordan joined at lunch time (around 1 pm).

Short poles holding the wires - 

Dan on the roof.

Longer 'hockey sticks' at last! Ready for shed and carport construction there-under.

Lights, still in boxes, bought at Aldi, all laid out for installation.

Zach preparing the cabling for the coachlights.

They'll have to come back for some extra installing when the carport is up, for lights there and for the front extension, lights on the front of the house (towards the main road). I also want the ceiling fan put up (that Anne gave me), and the bathroom heater gadget, after the new roof is on. Phew!

Still a work in progress!

Early days

I hate those photos. Most of the time I was unhappy, confused and angry. I felt like I had to be something and I didn't know what it was. I know believe this came from my mother, trying to govern how I should be. She and I are very different and I could never be what she wanted.

Me in Grade 8 at school in Singapore -

and I am still pensive now, especially when on holidays with her, something I do not like to do much. She restricts me.

Her teeth look dark here, but they aren't!
