More Prepping Work!

Day two at the house..preparing for the workmen tomorrow. We certainly made an impression on the neighbours when..after the realtor told is to have a quick peek inside....she forgot to to tell us the code for the alarm system. After a quick panic trying to phone the realtor.. and not being able to hear her because of the deafening noise...all was well... and at least we know the alarm works. I cant wait to start moving furniture in this weekend. Cool neighbours too

I set to work cutting down that beautiful Bougainvillea by the back door

Such a shame..but the contractors need it cut back so they can tent

I left the roots...hoping for some regrowth...but that huge cactus had to go.

I had to get MrD to help as it was stubborn.. and it got its revenge by stabbing me a few times

Meanwhile MrD set to taking down the front railings on the porch

The metal was very rusted and crumbling...and all the screws rusted tight...

but he managed

He also had to cut back the hedge...hoping that it will regrow and fillout again

While MrD tackled the electrics..

I set to clearing a bed of Nasturtium, Jasmine amd Ivy

Which was a shame..but revealed that the soil beneath 
was dry and dead and needed a good feeding with organic matter

Then it will be fun choosing what to plant there

So Day Two down...and we are set to go.

Love and Hugs
