My House

So near to SCI FI, I can almost… taste it.

Wow November 2009 and its nearly 2010, its ridiculous to think how fast this year has gone by, just the other day I was going on about how much I was enjoying my new career opportunity at i5… Now its near the end of another great year and I am celebrating in another new exciting career opportunity at Sandbox Projects. When did we begin to be so particular in our career choices and how often we changed that path?

Strange but true especially in the IT industry, we seem to chop and change quite often and then as far as trends go you move into consulting which is essentially your own business where you work for someone else on a daily basis.  A bit bizarre if you ask me :)

Other than that little history lesson, its time for some new photo’s of my place, with all the wood new practically stripped of paint and some of the wood is sanded and treated… still a long way to go that’s for sure:

Better late than never

So I have not been blogging too much since New Years, I suppose that is because I had lots of photo’s for reference over the New Year Holidays in Cape Town.  Well much has been happening over the last six months I don’t even know where to begin.

After a year in waiting while staying in my flat I finally had the opportunity to move into my house on the 1st of June, well…. lets just say it has already turned into quite an exciting little adventure.

The first night I thought id go in and take some photo’s, to have as a reference to how the house looked when I moved in and then during the course of making changes id take photo’s as well.  So here are the pictures I took from the first night I moved in:

My house (before the cleanup):

Then after the first week of cleaning and scrubbing and moving some furniture in and around the house the place starts to take a bit more of the shape I want:

My House (after the initial cleanup):

So after this whole initial cleanup thing was done I got a whole heap of nice stuff thanks to my mom, I will be sure to be taking a whole bunch of new photo’s soon because some painting has been done.  I will be stripping all the paint off the doors, door frames, window frames and the skirting boards.  Once that is all done ill be sanding and sealing all the wood.

Fun and Games, until next time, hopefully not a whole six months later:
