The prep work is the hardest, clearing that sand (gets everywhere), leveling then bringing in new sand, leveling. Laying the pavers and shovelling in the stones was a lot easier. I must say though there is no way i will be doing the alfresco side pavers, that job will be left to a professional. Re: First Home Build - Some Pics 127Dec 20, 2010 1:08 pm Damn! well thats why i still have sand I think ill get something done over chrissy break tho... I need to do the retic before I do the pavers too... hmmmm. Let me know if you get a good quote, ive got $16/sqm which isnt too bad till you add the pavers ontop Must come around for a beer when you guys are free too Garden - viewtopic.php?f=19&t=44214&p=670323#p670323 Decorating - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=47218&p=715743#p715743 Re: First Home Build - Some Pics 128Jan 12, 2011 12:56 pm Ah just seen this now. Yea ive found the laying to be the cheap part, its the pavers themselves that are the costly part. We will soon have a fridge so will have some cold beers, pop around anytime.

I Love staffy's and my other half likes heelers. Nice looking mix. The only thing deterring me from getting a staffy is their destructiveness.
