It’s a long time since I’ve posted to this blog.  The reason for this is because I have been preparing my house for sale and I’ve been overseas for five weeks. 
 
It took me about a month of my free time to replace the rusted handrail on my lower balcony and the rotted balustrade of my upper balcony.
 
This first picture shows the rusted out lower balustrade.

This next picture shows the balustrade that I made out of wood.

One of my wife’s co-worker friends, Jade,

 who was born in Malaysia, invited us to her wedding in Kuala Lumpur.  My wife and I try to go overseas at least once a year, so we thought we’d take this opportunity to do a bit of travelling in South East Asia.
 
Since we were going all the way to Malaysia, we thought we might as well, visit Vietnam and Thailand as well. Needless to say, a 5 week trip overseas takes a little organising and I had work commitments so I had no time to make posts to this blog for the last couple of months.
 
So over the next couple of weeks I will be making many posts concerning our travels.
