The benching looks great, so nice and tidy, it doesn't look like the cut much until you get to the pic that has your gorgeous son in it... then you can appreciate the big cut but they've done it very nicely.

Along with our tap, we have a temporary fence and a cage. Even though I'm fully aware of the size of our block, to actually see it marked out with a fence made it look a bit different! I'm so happy we perservered on this project and with this land. I really do love it after almost feeling resentful towards it after all the previous dramas. It's interesting that they've fenced the whole block though, to just inside the back fence. We have 30m from the back of the house to the back fence, so I expected them just to fence across the back of the house. As we were about to leave our SS turned up to introduce himself. I'm really thrilled we have him, I've heard nothing but great things. He looks after all the Porter Davis Lifestyle and Prestige homes on our estate and they have all been quite quick builds with satisfied clients. He stopped in at two other homes on his way up the hill, one of which was finished months ago. He always seems to be around the place and that's fantastic to know. Looking across the front.
