All ours, now 4 the finishing touch 464Oct 19, 2010 9:53 am Hi cooper Yeah it has been a while hasnt it.... well the concrete pour for the foundations for the wall went very nicely... quite proud of my efforts after not doing anything like it before... and we have had the brick wall built around the front of the house on the weekend. It all looks really good ! now just to get it rendered. I am contemplating doing it myself but i wil just see how i go. Other than that all is really well, just need to go around and hang pictures and do up the kids rooms, put some skirting boards in and some plants at the back and its all done... time to relax and enjoy the new home ! but i am sure i will find something else to do !!

We are all out of boxes now and things are really taking shape. We have had the front wall built and i have attempted to render the front wall myself.... its a lots harder than you think !! But i struggled through it and manged to complete the inside of the wall... its not perfect but its ok i think... The landscaping has been confirmed for the week of the 22nd of november so i cant wait. Oh and we finally got our limestone letterbox delivered.. but since we have the letterbox in the wall already i am going to sell it.. i will attach the pictures of it so if anyone wants it they can have it for $150.. they are $300 at the nurseries... any takers And here are some pics..

We actually went out to Benara Nurseries in Carabooda on the weekend and got some really cheap plants. Its a wholesale nursery so i think you can only go if you have a business but luckily my friendfather has a landscaping business so we where able to get all of our plants at trade prices ! All up we spent $300 and got quite a bit. you will se them in all their glory once planted.. which like i said wont be long agabob where are you psjoland anyway? It's almost 2 weeks from the time you visited?
