Many of you, well a few... okay one or two of you know that I am/was wanting to convert half of the usable basement space into a man cave, entertainment room, with bar and the like. Well as you may also know I do have an issue with basement moisture. Now when I say moisture it's not just damp, but if I dig a hole 8 inches it will fill up with water when it rains and drains just as quickly.

You said it was too hot the other week sitting on the deck. We listened, and we agree...

For a wee, while now my (8 years) old computer had starting to play up and the fan would come on slow it down... It getting frustrating board line biting the bullet and invest in a new PC. However I have always said, even when I was the IT geek, and now just a standard user, I always said, that only upgrade to meet your needs and wants. No need to go and buy a fancy quad-core 64bit, 16 GB ram blah blah blah if all you are going to do is email and vise versa there is no point just buying a plain business computer if you are going to play the latest 3D Games.

It was like any Tuesday morning Paula already up and about, me slowly moving from my slumber. I get up and do the usual morning things I usually do in the morning. Rimu our dog was wanting her morning walk... Paula was about to do this she grabbed her jacket, whilst it was still and not raining it still had a chill in the air as winter is slowly setting in.

Well, we now have a decent gazebo to put up if the weather is not playing its cards right and it can be used for keeping the sun off or the odd rain shower. We bought it as we were entertaining people and there would not have bee enough room in the bar. It was a good call as we had drizzle (but it was warm)

Since we have had the deck installed and nearly, but not quite finished we have had meals and had a few quiet ones out on the deck, most of the time it has been very pleasant. Today however I will have to say while we had great friends and company it was getting uncomfortably hot just sitting out the in that heat... I mean way too hot. It is a bit of a sun trap.

11 months ago it was decided we would have new years on our new deck that was only built a month before. So we decided on the spur of the moment to build a bar From there the bar seems to take on a life of its own.

Click on the TAGS above for a quick search and sort of my sets.
I like Lego I can not lie... and while I am not what they call a purist, meaning I only buy Lego and nothing else... Not all models I have are Lego. (I will say if they are are Lego or not. Click the "Non Lego Blocks" tag above). I also have not taken photo's of all my models and will put in an official image if I have not got a photo of my build. I will eventually take photo's of all my builds over time. Also I don't just collect the big black special official kits I also collect certain "City" and "Technic" and various other themed kits.
I do have one gripe the grinds my wheels though... Stop calling it "Legos", it is simply "Lego". Is it "Legos" or simply "Lego"? The Lego company, the mastermind behind this iconic toy, has a firm stance on this matter. They adamantly maintain that the correct plural form is "LEGO bricks" or "LEGO sets," treating "Lego" as an adjective rather than a noun.
The brick count does not count spare parts, 2nd hand Lego, small sets that can not be registered or non Lego sets.
