What a lovely weekend, can't imagine what I'm doing back here again after only two days away. Our veggie patch is 70% planted, only a little more preparation needed before I can get the rest sown. This year we'll have squash, tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, corn (hopefully it works this year), pumpkin, peas, beans, carrots, spinach and broccoli. Cool! We also put a load of topsoil over our carpet of weeds and we need to buy mulch to pop over the top of that. It'll look really good once it's done. Then we're looking at getting a quote for a new kitchen and a quote for an ensuite. Once those are taken care of (next year) we'll look at building a free-standing garage in front of the house and finally (maybe 5 years?) we'll turn the current garage into a studio apartment in the backyard. At best it's somewhere you oldies can live when they're too infirm to be on their own, and at worst it's extra income from a rental if we ever need to go that way. Holy crap I think I just planned out the rest of my life.

You could even say that the little "granny flat" will be ideal when your first child turns 18 (or even 16) and wants a space of their own!
