Oh wow!!! Really? That is exciting... I caught up with Dee and Loretta this week and was thinking of you. Lets talk soon

oh my - not sure how I missed those pics. Looks divine Gogo! On a day like today, I could do with your pool... and the T-pot

thanks admin. Contact made privately with Ryan, all good.

Hi guys - It's been so long since i have been on the forum that I almost couldn't remember my password logging in! And to think back when I lived…

Ooh yes, photos please!!! 2 acres is large, but how wonderful that the kids have that much outdoor space to grow up in. Sounds like you have some serious drainage…

jodge, jodge, hug, hug. Thank you for all your help and advice when we were starting our garden. I too am amazed how much it changes the facade. Thanks for…

Hi GF - I posted on my thread to say belated happy 12 month anniversary to you (thanks for your post to me) but thought probably better I post it…

thanks for this - I was just looking into doing something along these lines. When our driveway was poured the concreter convinced me to stick with plain concrete (because 1.5…

hello gogo dearest. away from the other stuff and back to usual build talk - today I noticed two rather large chips in our stone benches (I think DH did…

Thank you Leanne!
Thank you kiwi!!! Long time no see kiwi
So were the photos the right way around for you? When I looked at…

And one of the patio lawn with grass

oh wow - the last photo worked.
Dee - you can see the grass. You were right to suggest we don't do artificial…

Thanks Leanne. I think I took the photos with the camera the wrong way round (maybe?) like I said - having a blonde day - so maybe I just need…

sorry - having a few blonde days and can't figure out how to turn the photos around (I tried rotating on the files saved in the computer which seemed to…

I have been meaning to post photos for ages, but yesterday's exciting event has given me the impetus. Council came yesterday and planted a lovely banksia tree out the front!…

We built nearby and dont have air con. No regrets. Ceiling fans are the solution and no windows on the West.

That's exactly what I thought. Nina your grass looks great! Jodge was telling me today about something called Shirley number ??? Which is magic on grass.
Ps: hugs and…

Oh dear ... Don't tell Dee about the surfmist roof turning green
But what a wonderful update! You have fone wonders with your garden…

Hello ladies!!!! Long time no see Nina xxx Grass talk. ... Our palmetto buffalo is all north facing (only a little shade from western jacaranda in the arvos) but ours…

ps: that is very cool that you don't need the air-con. I was wondering how your back area would go in winter as it faces South, but with the fire-place…

aha - yes, I can imagine a gate like that now. Thanks for the pic.

Hello dear Dee and Gogo - nice to see you still here ... Dee I think you would approve of our garden and veggie patch. Gogo would love to post…

Wow - can't believe you would go again. Although I admit I did suggest it to DH too. I guess that means our experiences weren't so bad after all.
Gates…

Hiya - well, I vowed I wouldn't do what other house builder do - drop off the end of the earth once I have built. But alas... Time and energy…

Hi gogo - just popped in to say hi and see how it's all going?

Ditto. Living areas on the South for shade (opposite to us down here in colder climates).

Of course we do!

I haven't heard of any trick ways to read faster! My thread is getting a tad long, but on page one I did an index of where our plans and…

We have north facing deck (upstairs) and patio (downstairs) both under cover and north facing living rooms (you can see a mock-up in the picture in my avatar here on…

Hey GF! Great to get your update. Sounds like you are well and truly over all the dirt. 15 trailers already sounds like lots of dirt! Landscaping can take time,…
