Did you source locally ?? Tim, I sourced Eldorado Stone through Adbri Masonry down here (the first to do so in Hobart apparently). It's made in Indonesia, so I'm guessing they get it shipped direct.

Thanks for the info Another questions if I may.. On the start of the fire build you used Blocks for the base but on later pictures it seem to be a board or is it just my bad eyesight Thanks again Cheers Tim Re: My new house at Fern Tree, Tasmania 352Jun 09, 2015 1:19 pm timbo43 Another questions if I may. On the start of the fire build you used Blocks for the base but on later pictures it seem to be a board... No worries Tim. Nope, the house is all brick -- concrete blocks for the foundation walls, and commons for the rest. Then rendered over the top. When I eventually get to the studio, I'm thinking of just blue-boarding with render... insulation products are good enough these days.

Not cool - more like bloody freezing ! I agree with the above comments too. You'd swear that is a pic of a chalet in the Swiss Alps. Very nice, Johnson. Stewie Hello. I just bought a few acres in Habana, Mackay, and my horses seem to love hanging around under this tree. I would like to name the paddock after this tree. Can… 0 9529 Fellow Perth dweller. Looks like pruns nigra. It's a dark leaf flowering plum. Doesn't get massive and is easily trimmed deciduous tree. Very popular in small gardens in Perth 7 2764 |
