Some Pallet Fun

This is what you do when you start your summer holidays - build a bbq table! We've become a little obsessed with what you can build with old pallets. Not just because of how they look but probably because they're free...

We've found a building supplies store in town that's happy for you to take their pallets away for free and we're only too happy to oblige. This latest addition, adding to our bike and shoe racks and also a coffee table, was made yesterday afternoon after some inspiration from Pinterest. It was also a great excuse to get out the circular saw I bought last week (yes, more man points). I couldn't believe how much fun that thing is.

My plan is to scrounge around for some retro looking bike wheels to add to the front. That will make the BBQ more transportable. "Where should we BBQ tonight, honey?"

Break from the end of term exhaustion!

This morning we woke to the kids running around screaming, 'It's snowing!'  The snow was about an inch thick and we made a snowman before breakfast.  Talk about priorities!

Here's the storm at about 11am.  The levels grown to about 3 inches and we're wondering if we can still drive to the depot to get some more coal - we thought we'd just about make it till next year.   Haha, not even!

What a great way to finish the term.  I wonder if school will be open on Monday - it's expected to snow until Tuesday.
