What Steve's been up to on his holidays

Steve always uses his holidays wisely and productively and these photos are proof of those two principles he follows rigorously. One basement had been used by us as a quasi storage area since we moved in but he has carrid out a major transformation. First he dissassembled the shelving that was in the basement and reassembled it in the cold room which lies adjacent to the basement. This is a proper cold room with refrigeration (lordie knows why the original owners installed it) and it has now become a combined wine cellar and walk-in storage facilty (WISF).
Steve then was able to completely gut the basement, slap on a few coats of paint and install the four pieces of gym equipment that he had recently purchased. We bought the rowing machine and the spin bike at the Tender Centre and


the treadmill on the right and the combo thing on the left are brand spanking new. Steve relocated the sound system we had attached to our former computer (and which no longer works with our new iMac) down to the gym as well. Now all we need is to establish an appropriate work-out routine (WOR). Just watch those xmas kilos fall away.....oh and we do have a pedestal fan down here too..the basement is in fact the coolest and most stable (temperature-wise) part of the house but additional fan-cooling will be needed for much of the year.
