I must agree sounds like a great idea. They would probably go out front but on the lower shelf, not the part level with the hosue as nice as it would have been to have small fruit trees in those square beds. Re: Here we go- and go and go and go 550Jul 25, 2012 10:25 am Deemaree When the guy was excavating for our driveway last week he asked if I wanted to keep our topsoil! Yes-I want to keep the 30 odd sq m of beautiful rich worm laiden top soil! It will be placed on the beds where the berries are going to go...... Beautiful I can never get enough good soil, I had to buy good soil the other day for my vegie garden, $120 for a tiny mini very small truck full Re: Here we go- and go and go and go 551Oct 06, 2012 10:03 am well it seems the ceiling issues are still going to get us. Just posted this on my blog. We'd been watching as the cracks had gotten worse in several of the ceiling board joints once again but this was /is something else. It might be the glue or just another example of poor workmanship from the plasterers. One length of wall in the games room, right above several computers has come away from whatever holds it up. Not just the cornice but the plaster board. It's a length of about 5m. At worst it drops about 10 cm. So yesterday morning a call was made to the maintenance supervisor, "D" He sounded fairly relaxed about it when Hubby called him on his mobile. But 10 minutes later , I'm guessing after arriving at work, and checking our our build history he called back, a little less complacent. He said he'd be out with someone else as well. True to his word they both arrived within 2 hours. They also took a good look at the cracked plaster joins. So the plasterer will be expected to return. fix the problem, including redoing all the cracked board joints. Here's hoping this time he and his workers actually don't make as much mess. Fingers crossed they will actually call and organise times to come rather than just turn up and expect to be let in without notice as they did last time. We've sent an email to "D" with the times it suits us for the next week to have someone come out. Eldest has 4 exams next week, I have chiro appointments etc. So they will have to work around us. Last time was a pain in the... So lots of additional screws into the plaster board, repatching and repainting. Again! I hope it doesn't drag on over 8 months this time. G put up some pipe and used 2 brooms to stop the ceiling from slipping further and hold it in place on Thursday night. Hopefully today the plasterer will call and come and add some screws to hold it in place.

I know he wasn't their usual guy as they were full on with work and had to contract in additional plasterers at the time. The bloke was..... no point in typing it as it would be a banned word. it cold be the glue. but given the other issues with the ceiling previously it doesn't seem likely. He did the work on the house across from us as well. Hope they have more luck with their ceiling than we have had. Still waiting on a phone call from him. too bad if we want to use the broom, or the pipe. hmm sorry can't sweep the house. no broom available hehehe Haven't told them about the cracked tiles on the floor of the bathroom yet. Settling in the slab. There's a line of tiles cracked through on the bathroom floor. Hubby thinks we should wait a little longer in case it hasn't finished settling.

We could start a new trend? Complete with a fashionable blue flannie to pad the top of the pipe where it is pressing on the ceiling.
