There is always a lot of meat on the fire

This could actually be the standard title of almost all the posts, as there are always a lot of things ongoing and all of different nature. One has to be simply allover the place.

1) The garage. The garage had an amazing hole in the wall. The theory states that the previous owner had the secret wish to make a door out of a window and started to smash the wall there. Luckily, he didn't succeeded. See this old post.
As we had some good mason around, we took the chance to make them patch, after who knows how many years, that wall.

Patch on the garage wall. Now this looks dried and camouflaged with the rest

As the garage is almost looking decent (except the attic, that is still in need of care), we have started the "decoration" of it with some of the items found during the different cleans up.

Details from some old car are now hanging on the walls

2) One of the two windows in the attic.
Thanks to the mild autumn (I bet that now that I write this, there will be the coldest storm ever appearing tomorrow), I have managed to do some of the painting work that I should have rushed more during the summer.
One of this is related to the metal sheet we mounted back. Mounting back was not exactly as easy as one could think.
The inclination of it has to be accurate so that the water flows out. However, although doing that, the wall around it is not "sealed" around the metal.
This is a problem that we need to address or we will have water issues anyway.

That metal should be hooked in the wall

When there is simply a big glitch between wall and metal

3) The garden.When finding 2 minutes of peace, I try to read some magazine (I have of course an infinite long pile that will never end) and the one that has been on my nighttable for few months is about gardening.
The garden requires a lot of planning. Taking care of. And neither one or the other thing has yet happened really, except some occasional saving from our gardeners, who at least take away the worst weeds.
Anyway. I saw this hanging chair and dreamt that it would be accessible price wise and hence purchasable (?) one day...

The hanging chair

Wouldn't it be nice to have the chair for spending those 2 minutes there reading all those magazines? Yes. Of course. We have the hammock too....I should be happy with that :) But....(There is a follow up to this for the next blog post!)
