Come do mine What a clever kitty getting on the roof poor Mumma Dawn!!! Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Custom Build - Ever After :) 2654Nov 10, 2017 10:19 am Umm....no. Sorry :p if i ever build again I will put aside enough to pay someone to come and landscape for me. Its so much hardwork and Im so picky!! Panda is giving me reflux because all the houses are so close, from my roof she can get to the other end of the street...and while shes fearless shes also dumb. Keeps trying to take on crows that are twice the size of her. Silly cat. We did buy stuff for a second attempt at the gate. $250. so broke thanks to this house. Also will hopefully get my study furniture next week, and front fence finished. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Custom Build - Ever After :) 2655Nov 10, 2017 6:30 pm Hey Dawn just checking in. So engrossed in my build I haven't checked out your awesome ongoing landscaping improvisation! I like how you changed the purpose of that screen! How silly that your rabbits chewed out the net... can't live with them can't live without them!

Between the cats and bunnies they've stripped one of my magnolias back to a stick I'm going to have to get some tree guards until the plants get bigger. Thanks. I think the screen will look good once I get some hanging pots to go on it and some herbs Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Custom Build - Ever After :) 2657Nov 10, 2017 7:08 pm How gorgeous is this girl? My beautiful Cassidy and the best behaved of the lot XD Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Next door got their roof today! So quick,their frame went up in two days!! This photo shows you my back skyline So their house takes up that whole side, gosh seems so close!! Glad I have high fences.. and then the back of the house on the left side is there. Thankfully between the two will be nothing, as that is the house on the lefts backyard. Forgive the mess XD Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Close up And of course my angels playing. We had a fun afternoon playing in the backyard. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Will hopefully have some photos to share of my new gate by the end of the weekend. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Custom Build - Ever After :) 2658Nov 12, 2017 4:02 pm Another big day in the yard today. Also went for walk around the estate for the first time since moving in XD.. so lazy.
Found these on my travels, exercise machines in the park!! How cool. Why did I pay to join the gym?? I think the estate is going to be pretty awesome once all the pubic works are done, and most of the house construction is complete. So many people not following the guidelines Feeling much better about my front yard after seeing some of the others around here..

Turns out my bunnies are opportunistic, as soon as I ripped out the lillipillies they started on the magnolias Hopefully they can start growing now. Was hard work putting up the mesh!! Hot day today. Proud of myself for doing it all on my own Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Finally put something in those pots. XD Decided not to go with frangapanis after some professional advice, not enough sun there. Instead went with dwarf citrus. Orange on the left, lemon on the right. D Can't wait to get some fruit. Looking much nicer out there now. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is the orange.

I just love em.. Going to put it at the front, on the side, so it should get east and west light. Hope it lives!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So it was a big day, but got some more stuff done!! Also planted my mini orchid into a bigger and bought a little 'grow your own' strawberry kit. Excited to see if they grow. Just have to do the herb garden in the cat run now and get this grass to green up. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Custom Build - Ever After :) 2660Nov 12, 2017 6:48 pm Its looking great Dawn, so homely now We have those exercise machines at our local main park... ours aren't pretty purple thou... lol. I hope they do the estates gardens up nice like that... the original plan is nothing like what we have now. we have a few 'lakes' with some grasses around the edge of the water, no trees like the plan says and the weeds are so high! We were also supposed to get a playground.. but thats just a weedy area too! Hubby thinks the shire will be taking over soon so should be maintained by them soon enough.. Going to be annoyed if they don't put the trees and park in! I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15020 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this? I am in SA 8 16956 Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built. Also have a… 3 11547 |
