Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod - Post Handover 750Nov 06, 2018 4:02 pm Spent an afternoon at virginia nursury last weekend and made a few changes based on their advise I took out the yukka's before they got established and have put them back in pots Now just have Native Shrubs in the front yard - looking forward to what they will look like when grown Will be doing the same in the back once my pergola is done and am going to move all potted plants along the side of the house to give greenery outside the windows.

All posts and beams will be surfmist so should contrast well with the woodland grey underside. and 2 opal skylights to probably be positioned above my 2 rear glass doors Photos in 4 weeks once its installed.

Will be adding blinds in the 2 rear sections to at least come down 2-3 feet to block out the afternoon sun fully in summer as the late afternoon sun does heat up under the veranda a little bit, but the rear of the house is staying a bit cooler now that it doesn't get much direct sunlight like it used to.
