Obviously he chose it knowing he wouldn't have to clean it, it was so dirty... don't know how many times I cursed while cleaning it because I also had to clean the underside of it I think it will just be a feature and we will eat at he island because stuff cleaning it all the time Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 33 - Keys 8/9 YAY!! 4426Sep 16, 2017 8:28 am aloenyx Oooh love it!! D It's an awesome setting. I really want a glass dining table, but worried about keeping it clean... still debating a glass coffee table. So how long till you get a puppy? XDDD And wow 18!!! I won't complain about having to share with my single sister ever again.. D Don't do it hahaha!! It was a nightmare to clean because it was filthy after it come out of the box, but it is gorgeous!!! Soooo about the puppy, I am hoping to convince hubby to let me get our daughter a GSD for her 6th birthday... secretly it will be my birthday present as my birthday is the day before hers but it'll be our little secret... I want a dog that will be loyal to her and protect her, a GSD ticks all those boxes. Then we will get my Newfoundland x Mastiff in July next year... but my heart yearns for a puppy lol Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 33 - Keys 8/9 YAY!! 4427Sep 16, 2017 8:29 am vonsta76 Beautiful gorgeous chairs!!

You have been on such a building journey, it was epic! congrats again to you and your family! Thanks Rural!! I am hoping GJ come to fix outstanding issues next week while I'm still on holidays 🤞🏼 Yes our blinds are in and they are gorgeous, glad we went with hubby's choice but shh don't tell him it'll go straight to Mr Charli's head there are just a few issues with the blinds, one of the panels has a mark through the fabric they came to replace it yesterday but the new panel was cut to narrow. One of the tracks for the panels can't support the weight of the panels we they are pulled back and drops down a bit so they need to add a couple more brackets to help support and take some of the weight but loving them none the less Charlibear's Build - Week 33 - Keys 8/9 YAY!! 4431Sep 16, 2017 8:53 am A couple of photos of the dining table all clean and in the space, need to find a buffet that will look good there.

She doesn't bark at people walking their dogs past any more, and only barks at people approaching the house, but stops when she sees that they're the lucky ones that I let in. This was just the other day, keeping a careful eye on a tradie coming back to replace one of my shutters, who was parked out there.

It is so worth it also because of how beautiful and neat it looks. Enjoy your holiday!

I wish I could get one but my backyard is tiny. I saw one at the park on the way from work yesterday, it was SO cute.. baby GSD all floppy XD Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 33 - Keys 8/9 YAY!! 4437Sep 16, 2017 11:55 am aloenyx Eeee, I think a GSD is a great idea. I wish I could get one but my backyard is tiny. I saw one at the park on the way from work yesterday, it was SO cute.. baby GSD all floppy XD Dawn no kidding but my yard is smaller than yours. It's L shaped and is 13.5 across the back and approx 18 going front back to front down the side. Only 2 meters wide each side. Mischa loves running up and down, but GSD'S are people dogs, and she only spends time in the yard if I'm out there. She occasionally goes out on her own if she thinks she hears an intruder, or to go to the toilet or steal Pebbles from my pots. But most of the time she prefers to spend it indoors. I do wish I bought a bigger block, but it would have cost an extra $30k to get something decent. I'm not much of a garden person either so a few pots and soft grass as all I really need at the end of the day. Mischa will get taken out more to the beach and parks now that she just had her final vaccination. But you can buy a big breed dog, some just don't like the outdoors.

I don't have anywhere to put a puppy during the day inside separate from my bunnies and kitties... so my plan is no puppy till my bunnies pass (which hopefully is years away!).. but you never know XD I definitely want to wait at least 12 months to settle into the house and maybe take a holiday first.

A little bit more styling and it's going to look like a display. The table and chairs look awesome. I spotted the chairs at Nick Scali today when I was lounge shopping. I tried to talk my mum into buying them to go with her jimmy possum table but she has to check with dad first. Wow 18 would have been hectic!! Thank you so much everyone.
