Life Down Wattle Lane v2 - Down Time

At the moment I have orders for about 34 gates and 4 barn doors, so I am rather busy... but when it is tools down time, it's very relaxing spending some time with my Arapawa's.

It's the first time I have patted this ram lamb... and he likes it and wants more!!!

Life Down Wattle Lane v2 - My Property Tip

What initially is seen as a negative can in fact be a positive. What might be a liability can be turned into an asset. So if doesn't look good at first... look a little bit deeper. 

That's my property advice. As turning negatives into positives is profitable.

This is how we initially viewed the creek... but I think it is now looking good, but there is still more work to be done.

The creek is home to eels, these tiny little fish and the birds that feed off them. There is a rather large eel that visits from time to time.

Gary might still be on the fence with this one haha... but it's my long term project.

Life Down Wattle Lane v2 - Farm Gate Feedback

It's awesome recieving feedback...

I am a person that thrives on constructive critique, as I want to be producing the best quality gates staying within a fair price bracket.

I need to know that I am doing it right, as I am self taught.

So if there is anything that I can do to improve the gates I would love to know.
