I thought you were flexing for a moment in the lawn picture and then realised nope just holding up the phone XD
The terrace thinng looks great!
You had a bunch of stuff stolen? Damn I missed a lot (I have been missing a lot as keeping on top of hive is a struggle).
If your father in law is anything like mine you won't stay ahead of him and he'll complain about how you're taking so long when he inevitably catches up XD And worse still if he's retired and is able and willing to spend a lot of time doing all those little projects all houses have :D
