He still hasn't given me a quote yet (said I'd get it this afternoon). I'm nervous. If its under $5k I'll grumble, under $2k I'll dance the polka and somewhere in between I'll be happy enough. Quote: Also you can see my $20k retaining wall in the background. What happened there?? Lovely slab by the way Paula Re: Good things come to those who wait (and wait!) 31May 27, 2008 9:22 pm congratulations too!

They were all included in the standard range except for the large one I'm using for the main area floor tiles which I have to pay for myself. And I pay a little bit of wastage charge for the wallpaper effect tile.
