That might sound like a lot of time but when you can only work at it a couple of days a week things drag on. The good news is that my pizza oven is getting delivered on Tuesday and I'm super excited. I love cooking with natural wood so I'm looking forward to many outdoor dinners. Meanwhile here are some progress pictures of the outdoor kitchen area and adjacent garden beds.

Would you mind sharing your steel gate supplier's details and how much it cost for the design? OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 532Jul 20, 2017 6:41 pm Hi Sinbox. The front vertical steel vehicle gates and side vertical slate were done by modern wrought iron. I gave them the design. The hexagonal gate was from edgework. I drew it up and gave it to them so there was no design costs. Each section is priced roughly at $1000.

Landscaping really gathering pace and I'm spending any minute I have outside. Also getting the help of 2-3 very good helpers. It's costing me me but we just need it all finished. Today we had our first plant delivery. It was mainly made up of ornamental pears of different varieties depending on the location. We purchased most of them as 200L pots so rather advanced. Here is our snow pear in our front court yard.
