You make putting up that retaining wall look easy. Maybe we should've gone down that road! :O
Are your walls all done now? How do they look?

And yes any builder… 2 13771 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4342 Is there a building permit? RU in Victoria? What is the value of the building contract? 1 6822 |
