Oh no pooks I chose the laminate too (as they had just changed them to standard)!! Not looking forward to that! And I had just bought a steam mop right…

Yeah but we won't actually be able to get a bobcat in beside the house once the fences are up so we have to get it done before side fences…

AAAANNNNNDDD the costs keep coming!! Took the parents to have a look around the outside of the house today to see what they reckon about landscaping/ground covering ideas and my…
