My “miracle a week”

At work, we often talk about getting our “miracle a week”, or at least that’s our aim. Being the last week of the year, I was dubious that I would be able to take a photo of this particular miracle in time for it to be one of my 52 Blessings. At the end of last year, we said that we would definitely get it in the ground this year. With 2008 drawing rapidly to a close with only one day to spare, it seemed quite unlikely.

I can scarcely believe it! It is now IN the ground as opposed to sitting on top of it. It’s not yet plumbed in or fenced but those are minor details to me. The biggest hurdle with the spa apart from digging the hole for it was getting it in the ground being that it was too heavy for the both of us to handle without severely injuring our backs. I’m not what he bribed his mate and step-dad with but I came home from work today and hey presto! It’s in the ground.

What a fantastic way to end the year! Now there’s just the plumbing, fencing, retaining wall and more garden beds to do. But hey, we have to have some DIY left to do in 2009.

My miracle a week.....the spa is IN the ground!
