Your landscape is coming along nicely!

Looks great vista! How many sqm is that do you know??

Not sure sorry but I know it was 3.5 cubic metres of coloured concrete and 3 cubic metres of plain! Concreter told me as it was being delivered!

Hi Vista, looks great which company did you use?

Highly recommend them.

Looks amazing! Very jealous of your driveway after my recent experience! Can clearly see you had real professionals on the job!

Hi Vista, given the hot days we've had the last few weeks, have you had any after-thoughts with the standard Daikin offered by M? (Eg number of zones, HP etc.) Thx

Happy with it Q. Works quickly when we switch it on, and having cooling either upstairs or down works well as we really only inhabit one floor at a time, except early evening with kids' bedtime.

If we had the capacity to cool both floors simultaneously it would be good at bedtime, but the cost would likely outweigh any marginal benefit.

Having 12m of bi-fold doors at the back helps too and we get a nice sea breeze usually.

Just spent an hour putting clear sealer on it, only $140 from H&G and lasts about 3 years. Gives it a nice sheen and protects against dirt and droppings etc. Very easy DIY job with a roller.

How much do you charge Vista for your labour service?

Ha you couldn't afford me Orph! Made a schoolboy error with the driveway. Should have installed an Ag pipe under the driveway, now we have water pooling on the inside of the block at the low point one side of the drive and will need to somehow dig under or channel someplace. Guess you can't think of everything

You can see it at the top right of the picture above.

Hi Vista, do you have a downlight under the stairs just outside your under-stair storage? Do you think it's worthwhile putting a downlight there ?

No we don't but I wouldn't bother personally. We have a light under the stairs in the storage area obviously, and it's bright enough. I would recommend tiling under there too if your main floor is tiled.

Driveway issue not an issue it turns out, turf underlay and a slight pitch on the lawn will sort out our pooling issue. Thanks to Mr leelee

Been very busy post handover. In the past 4 weeks alone;

1. I've installed our hub in a server rack with a managed Gigabit network switch and patch panel
2. Commissioned our home network (hub in garage)
3. terminated 20 Cat 6 cables for hub
4. installed a CCTV system with 8 cameras and NVR
5. Laid footings for a retaining wall
6. Laid concrete pad for a pool box
7. built a 4m retaining wall, concrete filled
8. painted nearly 100m of wall (up to 4m high)
9. Sealed driveway
10. Installed conduit for low voltage garden lights and house sign

...now back to work in my day job for a rest!

Hey Vista, how was your SM? I am looking for a new one. I know you are close by so wondering if yours was good so I can make a recommendation.
