Day 671: Kitchen counters
The kitchen counters are 60mm thick sand kiaat timber. I
love them.
The most amazing thing about the counters is the story of
where they came from. On a residential property close to Tzaneen a very old
large tree fell down due to natural causes. The land owner requested and received
a permit from the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to remove
the tree and to use the timber to make furniture. Now it is in my kitchen.

Day 667: Electrical plugs
I have been absent for a while. Moving turned out to be a
much bigger job than simply moving boxes from our apartment to our house. We
have to install shelving, make furniture, order curtains… and the list
continues. Interior design is a whole new game and we have a few interesting
stories about reclaimed timber tables and sustainable foresting. But for now,
have a look at our electrical wall plugs. I am trying to use as much white as
possible with the interior finishes to contrast with the textures and earthy
tones of the architecture.

Day 648: Certificate of occupancy
The building inspector has inspected and approved. Our house
is safe to be inhabited. Tomorrow we are moving in.
Finally...
