Garden now being developed at a rapid rate. This is the platform being built in order that we can make the most of the views...

Quick break from the Property Ladder photos. Lovely weekend and a bi of an indian summer going on. Been 5 months of pretty much sunshine on Waiheke now. A great summer even by the standards here. 2010 will be a vintage wine year...

The weirdo path to nowwhere is going to. Rather the landscaper than me on this one...

The old garden or jungle - yet to be cleared in this shot. Once the garden had been cleared the results were somewhat surprising and a little more budget was need to cope...another big garden....great...

More strange Waiheke Kitchen area.

the only bog in the house - smelly and plastic.

the delightful bathroom with corner bath even...this was not a nice place to sit and contemplate...

the old kitchen! not a nice look!

The old bathroom and a bit of the kitchen.

Believe it or not this was probably a great improvement over the existing bathroon...floor totally rotton and al smashed up!

his is what you call a back to basics kitchen...still got the dishwasher in place though! please note we were living it up around the South Island whilst this bit was going on...

Creating a new doorway into another part of the house...why do they have to make so much mess!

Some before shots of the house. The renovation is now nearly in the second phase with the garden being done and the outside being painted.

A picnic down the road from our house to end the day...and the Easter weekend...

Down to Man of War Bay - a lovely isolated Bay at the other end of the island down an unsealed road - fully justifying my purchase of a 4 x 4

Great views across the Tamaki strait towards the Coromandal and Thames. A drive arond the much less populated backend of Waiheke today.

Easter Monday on Waiheke. Been lovely weekend and never under 22 degrees...today was the most cloudless and clear. We now start to say its getting a bit chilly when it goes under 20 degress....we need to get real I think!

We thought this looked like our mate Kevin Borrett. We had quite a chat.
