Just posting...

Hello everyone :)

You have to excuse the 'quality' of the last lot of photos, they were taken on my iPhone, so not terribly good AND my dog had decided to run through the sprinklers, through the mulch and then on to the alfresco, so that's the dirty marks you can see. I assure you it looks much nicer in real life :)
Liquid limestone
Click on the above and it will take you to the website of the people who did our alfresco/outside area. They are wonderful, very competitive prices - actually my husband and I are verry picky with certain things and I can assure you that when I say we got many quotes, we certainly got many quotes!! His was the right price, the right finish and recommended by a neighbour (we saw his work first hand which was pretty much the clincher for us)
If you do speak to him, let him know where you got his details from please, I am sure he'll be happy to know. Also, no, I do not receive anything for writing this.

Alfresco is finished!

Ok, so managed to get the photos off my phone and onto this computer, YEAH!
So without further ado, here they are! Hope you like :)

They're coming...

Pictures are coming, hopefully later this evening...

I am having some issues uploading photos from my phone to my computer. So hopefully will have access to another computer later tonight to put photos on there and then upload. :)

Will also be doing another 'interior colours' post, as I have been to Bunnings looking at the 'colour wall' trying to decide what colours I like. Hahahha, it's a far harder job than any I have had so far. Although I am pretty sure I have gotten it right...

Painting won't happen for a while yet, but we need to plan these things don't we?

Lots of pictures...

Hello my blog readers!!
Apologies for lack of posts/pictures...sick children, myself and husband both sick, busy life in general...*sigh*

Without further ado...our back garden completed! The liquid limestone went down earlier this week and looks fabbo! Although no pictures of that...oh Tash! Will endeavour to get pics tomorrow and post ASAP...

But here are some landscape pics to whet your appetite :) Enjoy xxx

Landscaping

I have a secret I am keeping from my husband...*looks shiftly around* our front and rear landscaping has been started...hubby doesn't come home until next week, so he'll be very surprised when we bring him home!!!

They started today, digging trenches for the retic, they did that and then dug back over.
Some plants have been planted along the verge and also the side of the driveway, for now though they are finished.

It has been raining and raining all day and they had finally had enough (to be honest I was surprised that they had continued at it!) and would you guess?! The rain has stopped and the sun is shining! Hahaha, always the way!

They'll be back on Monday anyway, to finish off the retic (they have put the main pipes underneath just need to connect the actual sprinklers) finish putting in the plants and the turf will arrive on Tuesday! PHEW!

Photos to come. Going to see if I can figure out whether I can upload straight from my phone to here...

The finished retaining wall.

Hello everyone!
Apologies for the delay in putting up the finished photos, been a bit busy with Perth life and sick kids and other 'day to day' things.

Here are pics of the finished wall and some of the finished off 'top' where the garden will eventually go. We have landscaping out the front included with our land purchase, so are awaiting them to come and do that, should be in a week or two. We had to level the top, so hired a compactor, which was a great idea as the sand is soooo soft, the garden would have dropped by inches within a few months if we hadn't done it.

It's almost finished.....
