Hi all, Well finally laying some green tongue so far have put down about four rows and going good so far will upload some photos soon just havent been home for a while apart from that we have marked out our rear alfresco deck that was a bit of a nightmare but its done, got another delivery yesterday most of my internals arrived on site ie kitchen, achitraves, doors, door frames, skirting, electrical items some plumbimg and toilets, and a instanious gas hotwater system so that took most of yesterday off loading unpacking and repacking into the smaller shed, today was another trip to Bunnings for more timber for the floor board so hopefully will have a full day of flooring tomorrow and get more done so I can start framing next week so hopefully some pics on Sunday night will have to wait and see till then. Cheers Heath
