    Default Hello everybody from over the ditch

    My name is Ivo,

    I live in Christchurch, New Zealand with my family, we moved 2013 from Germany here and bought an old wooden house, which always needs repairs.
    I like tinkering with wood, electronics, software, some computer games, robust discussions - so to say, bloke stuff.

    The current projects are the conversion of the garage in the man cave and, for our newest family member with 4 paws, a dog kennel.

    The company here looks friendly and helpful, so I signed up
