Jack’s First Fish! A great day at Akaroa fishing…

This is Jack’s first fish! Good job buddy! Look at the rod bending over – man, must be an absolute whale! Giant Kingfish perhaps!

The new shed takes shape!

We’re turning the current garage into an office. This means we won’t have a garage, so this is the new shed going up…

Jack’s Treehouse Finished!

Finally finished Jack’s treehouse! Now he can have the mates over to party! I made this over two weekends from scrap timber, but it’s massively solid! Nothing will knock this fort down!

Great Barrier Trip

The ‘boys’ took a fishing trip to the Great Barrier Island for Ben’s birthday. Was a great trip and relaxing time with the mates… Great weather, fish to eat and good company. This is Gavin’s dad’s boat.
