My plantation shutters were installed last week.... yay... they look fantastic even though we were told they would take 6 weeks but they took 12 weeks im slowly getting the nursery done... but there is still alot left to do... My wonderful husband has been working so hard doing the landscaping every moment he gets... he just finished our big retaining wall around the alfresco yesterday... he even finished it with moroka... he has done an amazing job.... considering he has never built a retaining wall before... he has saved us so much money by doing it himself.... oh and we had air conditioning installed... hands down the BEST money we have spent so far lol i PROMISE i will get some new pics up in the next few days for you.... i hope everyone elses builds are running smoothly....
