If money wasnt really an issue, we had long renovated the house even before we moved. But the truth is money doesnt grow on trees so we need to learn to prioritize and budget everything. Right now with the rainy season coming, we need to do something with the backyard. I need to have a dirty kitchen installed, roofed, then have some parts of the yard cemented so that it can be converted into a laundry area. The clothesline must be added, and a compost pit created. The list is endless. We have very nice plans for the yard, including getting some teak furniture for it.

I can see it now. Sundays are going to be spent outdoors – no need to go to the malls!
