Every good new year's should either begin or end with a boardgame
Housie new year!
Being as it is now 2012 (and I am having a day off from re-pointing), it’s time to make a progress report on my New Year’s Houseolutions from 2011 and my other list of things to do and make some new Houseolutions for 2012.
2012 House0lutions
- Buy a 5.4 x 5.4 Sunshade in charcoal and install over paving at front: to protect car and to shade house
- Get some storage for laundry (Hello Ikea’s Lerberg, I be looking at you)
- Continue to revive front lawn:
- Topsoil and level
- Reseed bald patches
- Finish front garden bed:
- 3 more pots of bamboo
- Some more medium height plants (I have yet to decide what)
- Restore more freecycled furniture
- Continue re-pointing
- Woodchip front verge to make it tidier
I have to take continue collecting more freecycled furniture off that list because unless it is something that totally needs to be rescued by me, I am out of room in the garage until I finish a couple more projects.
Some other goals that are optional and will probably not be achieved in 2012, but one can live in hope (and carry them over into 2013 and beyond):
- Plant front verge with drought resistant plants that attract pollinators and/or are native bush tucker foods
- Big pots for driveway, to plant fig trees and pomegranate bushes
- 2 recycled chest of drawers for either side of my bed
- Shelving for garage
- Get stainless steel + sailing wire trellises for out the back and plant with passionfruit
- Solar panels: to make use of abundant resources and for guilt free electricity
- Grey water system to water lawn
