WEEKLY FIX PAGES

Monday, January 28, 2008

beginnings..................

well, they say there are a few definitive years in ones life and i've been lucky to have already had a few. our generation has had the fortunate advantage of having the world of travel at our fingertips which many of the brothers and sisters of the fixing crew are still out there enjoying (see below blog.... woody, you naughty boy)...
2008 looks to be one of those years for sal and i.. when I think what is to happen I kinda get a little bit daunted but I supose life really is about playing a game worth living for....... so as the last remaining of the hazlewood clan enters this year we find ourselves with a massive work season, a may wedding, a house in progress and whatever else comes our way..

so as the cruise season tides of November/December & January work slowly through our veins , our the time has passed and the set date of a february build is now upon us. we were down at our land on the weekend mowing the beast before work begins this tuesday. You cant see the pegs very clearly as they are hammered close to the ground but they are there. The electrical box is in place and erosion barriers ready to go. watch this space as we'll place a few pics on the fix as it all goes up.


The rammed earth walls are to go up mid february which will really set the tone. The hoop pines up the back head straight into a natural forest which is where our bedroom will be (straight up from the electrical box).
the other thing that has occurred somehow is that sal and I have become native bee keepers of recent and we now host a few thousand native bees on our deck.. go figure as I never thought i would bee (hehehe) a host to such creatures but its been a breeze so far. i'll be ready to harvest my first kilo of honey in around 8 months and they shall do all the hard work and polinate all our trees for us.. i reckon we've got it good..

so to all you fixers out there we are sorry about the lack of correspondance but it doesnt mean we aint thinking of you and on this australia day monday we are really wishing everyone a whole lotta love ... wherever you bee.....

got an email from our builder today - "We have put up our profiles and the steel for the footings is on site now so we will be digging shortly. I hope to be pouring the footings next week (end of week) so full steam ahead."

Mate,

Very exciting times for both of you and it is great to have you share them with us that can't be there! I am pretty hopeless too, so I will take this opportunity to wish you and Sal all the best for the upcoming wedding and a speedy construction of the manor!

Take it easy both of you!!!
