MY NEW AWNING - NEARLY THERE!

Sunday – removed the lovely Lattice work (NOT) off the brick walls…..
Really don’t know why I didn’t do it years ago!

SEE people….. Even we designy people miss crucial details!

In place of the lattice will be, chrome “picture” feature lighting, shining down on MY artwork, x 4 walls, this will be interesting. Chrome fan from the ceiling and chrome lighting beside the fan possibly hanging down over the table.

The glass top table will eventually be replaced with a long timber 10 to 12 seater table.

The corner gardens will be …….well…. still tossing up on a few ideas there…..anyone want to add to my thoughts here!!!

The palm stumps are coming out professionally, the soil will be removed….now what to do??
1) Deck the 2 spaces, as a feature, but then have to worry about constant up keep….not for me!!!
2) Concrete then adding large pebbles to the wet concrete, like this idea, I can then hose it clean.
3) Use some type of stepping stone as a feature, possibly Sandstone.

Below, the table will be moved and I am currently looking for a timber dresser to fill the spot, possibly a Balinese style, so I can put a nice lamp and candles on.

Anyway that’s it, let’s see how it progress to my thoughts!!

Tradesmen HATE me, they think I’m too fussy!!!!

Thanks Steve…..Hows your house coming on?
Or better still, your injuries?

Can’t wait to get my outdoor cover….all year round entertaining!

BUT, nothing beats that view of yours!

Thought I would update this post.

UPDATE…….NONE!!!!

It seems since I live in a fire hazard zone…..no kidding 2 on the weekend already!
The plans had to go to the Fire Department for approval.

I was pushing for timber beams instead of metal, my builder told me out right NO! Good thing or it would never get passed!

SO still waiting for approval, and getting toey!!

The other half has taken all the surround pavers off the gardens, so I guess that's something!

NO….I don’t need plans!!! I have vision!

The guy building it draw up a plan…not to scale. But I know what he is doing or he wouldn’t be here.

Lucky my other half understands what’s going on…or he would be running blind on this.

I know exactly what it will look like when its finished….so sorry, nothing to share except photos as it progresses.

OMG……the boys arrived at 7.30 this morning.

My BBQ awning will be finished by this Friday if not before!!!

I’ve already bought my yummy timber sideboard, its waiting at the shop to be delivered. I didn’t think it would all happen so fast.

Now I need to get my sparky here ASAP, to install my decretive lights and fan…..all happening.
Pete my plumber needs to come also…..nothing like dug up lawn to ad to the festive season!!!

Should be enjoying a few scotches in there this weekend with the neighbours………..

Need a quick $500 stop at the nursery to pick some EXTRA things……

Flagg stones will be way down the track….struck some nasty roots from the Palm trees which need to be ground out……again!

Post a photo tonight!!

Well progressed has started today……unfortunately!!!

Anyone see what’s wrong in this photo?
There will be a rake in the roof pitch in the centre

I need to see if this is a man thing or not, I noticed it as soon as I got home……NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!!!
