Hot water, pests and other stuff

Well, our new Solarhart hot water system has now been installed to replace the old one that was battered by hail.

We also had some pest control guys come and spay around the place and do a pest inspection yesterday. Unfortunately we had active termites near our side fence so we had some termite treatment added to the bill – total $550. But what can you do? Got to protect your house and hope you aren’t being ripped off. The pest control company was referred to us by someone in the industry who we trusted so I’m hopeful we were not ripped off.

We have had a decent amount of rain up here lately. Been good for the garden and the local dams. My Sir Walter turf that I put down earlier this year is quite lush. It would certainly recommend it, not sure how well it goes with frost. But it has handled the dry weather really well. Mowing it was a bit of a challenge last weekend because it was so lush. Had to change the catcher frequently.

Lani has started her Education Support course through Queensland TAFE open learning. She only started a couple of weeks ago and has already completed her assessments for 2 modules.

The kids are going well at school. Jasmine has just jumped a level in her reading books. James sat some tests recently and we don’t have all the results but he came 3rd in his class in a spelling test.

Just one last thing. Check out the following links to a website that John C told me about.
