Re: Our Burbank Lukin 2800 - Moved In! 296Dec 10, 2013 4:30 pm Looking great Nick! Bout time they sealed that section of road, hey? We have laid soil out the back and getting turf delivered on Thursday. We're also building a plantar box on the eastern side of the yard to use as a vege patch & I've planted a few herbs in pots. The plants/trees will have to wait till the new year since I'm going broke now! ...if you or anyone in the area needs some top soil... we ordered a little too much on the weekend ![]() Our deck & pergola is about 90% complete (annoyingly the timber we ordered for the slats aren't available until mid January, some new-trendy-envirofriendly-timber, can't remember what it's called). Next week we'll be oiling the merbau (front and back) so it should all look nice and fresh for Christmas! I'll post pics once it's all done.

Wish the builders would scrape the block for you after settlement, haha. And not to mention expensive. 2014 will be all about saving and not spending!

And not to mention expensive. 2014 will be all about saving and not spending! 2014 is all about insurance replacing our floorboards lol - we unfortunately flooded the laundry and in turn ruined most of our floorboards in the hallway and kitchen..Insurance say the whole lot needs to be replaced as the stock they used in our house is no longer available......... It looks pretty, but next time (and hopefully there is never a next time) i'm re-laying the whole house with tiles or polishing the concrete... Not very impressed, but thank god for insurance ![]() And yes, dirt removal is crap! We are lucky we put the roller door on the back of the garage otherwise we never would have been about to move in 10m3 of soil...it helps to know a person who owns a bobcat haha Re: Our Burbank Lukin 2800 - Moved In! 299Dec 11, 2013 11:28 am Oh NO! That's terrible! What a nice way to end the year for you... not. ![]() Hope the insurance covers a good job. Nice job flooding the laundry... hehe, you'll never do that again Our external decking was only installed 2 months ago, and already moulded, with cracks, and some timber decolorated.
