Our building thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=51657 Re: Boganswife's build- WE HAVE KEYS!!! 415May 24, 2012 5:32 pm Awesome news . Wow, the landscaping sounds like hard yakka! Well done to both of you I have clay too but at least mine starts from 500mm down. I did a heap of post holes last year and yeah, not fun at all! Keep us posted and best of luck Re: Boganswife's build- WE HAVE KEYS!!! 416May 24, 2012 6:54 pm Yes its a great feeling going in there and knowing its all ours, if not a bit surreal. I am loving being out there in the afternoon when the kangaroos come, and the last of the days sun flooding into our living area on the north side. High 5 for me, think I did ok on the orientation! Landscaping is hard work, but rewarding when its done. Can't wait to get some plants in! Took some photos out there this arv, will try and get them up off my phone...

We are going to do the area between house and wall as a rockery with different grade river rock and plant it out with grasses and flax type things.

The builders clean left them with a horrible greasy film all over them and then our feet leave nice clean shiny tracks through it! I'm going out to mop it a few times tomorrow, hopefully once it has been cleaned properly it doesn't look so bad. Re: Boganswife's build- WE HAVE KEYS!!! 418May 24, 2012 7:39 pm Looking gorgeous.
