I really like your front decking - it looks fab! I drove past your place recently when I was stalking our block. I often drive through your estate, which is the back way to The Ridge, where our block is. Your house & front yard look great. All those working bees have paid off!!!

Wouldn't waste your time stalking our block as absolutely nothing is happening and I'm beginning to really wonder whether we will ever get a house. (enormous sigh...) At the moment, I'm really enjoying watching other people's builds and learning so much. I find it easy to get excited at other people's progress!

I know exactly how you feel about just paying someone to do the back - it's satisfying doing the work yourself, but it takes FOREVER. Re: CiNnY's build with Henley- Landscaping/Decking pics! 22/2 372Feb 22, 2010 10:08 pm kek Wow, it all looks so finished ...like you've been there for years! I know exactly how you feel about just paying someone to do the back - it's satisfying doing the work yourself, but it takes FOREVER. We had a ball and some time where i wanted to give up whilst doing the front and yes it is very satisfying... but the back there is going to be enough to do anyway... without doing the pergola..... i do feel like we are *** getting quotes but at the end of the day it is all coming down to time... which I am back at work full time as of tomorrow and DP work 6-7 days a week! 2nd build here we come in Whittlesea! https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=92617 1st Build - Henley - Cooper in Doreen!

You must be proud of having done it yourself. And, it's not a bad thing to get someone to finish it up for you. Your time is worth a lot too.

They are all in now... too lazy to go take pics of the rest as I have just vaccummed and mopped the whole house! Ours aren't really standard DP had to cut them down to fit by about 40mm each! Can't wait for the grass to get green again as the heat on the weekend has browned it off.... hopefully some TLC and not so many hot days once the roots take it will look better!
