Fame at last! but not for me.

Jacob has made the Calgary Herald, the main Calgary broadsheet. His class was chosen for a pilot program where all kids are given a laptop, this is meant to improve their skills and learning using the computer as an aid. The fact that they are not allowed to take it home yet seems a little strange, but time will tell.

So Halloween is upon us and you are invited to judge the 2007 Pumpkin carving competition, in the interests of fairness the creators identity will not be revealed until the competition is over.

Just a little bit about what i can do.

All you need is a couter top with a big hole in it. A little work and


Yes, i did get my hair cut.

Finished (for this year)

This weekend we finished in the garden, at least for this year. The final thing to finish was the arbor, and tidy up a little before the snow comes. Here are some snaps of the final result.


Oh yeah, i added the stone too.




Just to prove that I did it. And yes, i'm getting it cut soon.

The Yard/The Garden

Welcome to my life.

Today I continued with my on going headache, or one of my on going headache. Although today i could actually see some progress which is nice, only problem is its starting to snow and i'm not really going to get to enjoy it untill next year.



Project One. The Steps.

After Sutton came and helped me build the patio, i changed the steps coming off the deck so that you could walk directly from the house down the steps to the patio.



Project two. The Pergola

A little more ambitious, a pergola over the patio.



Project Three. The fence.

Separating the garden from the driveway.
