So far we a re looking pretty good with all the fences up and just waiting for our custom aluminium slat gate to come (Hopefully this week sometime). With the addition of the fences and sleepers, this allowed us to get the landscaping going. So far the backyard has taken nearly 22.5t of Turf underlay to fill it up to a reasonable level. Both last weekend and the weeken before have been spent with myself and a few handy mates digging, barrowing, dumping, shifting, raking and rolling! In the meantime we decieded that doing a split level yard with a retaining wall was probably going to be the neatest way of addressing the fall accross the back of the block. So the wall was built this weekend and I finished turfing the yard yesterday afternoon. Has come up really good and I am very pleased with the result!
Next on the cards is to get some road base for down the side of the house as I want to compact this and then get some pebbles and stepping stones to go down there. I also have a mate that is digging my front yard down a bit today with a bobcat so as to allow me to easily topsoil it in preperation for turf and gardens.
Lastly, we finally have Opticomm coming out this Thursday to connect us up. So I have a mate coming to install some more TV points and am looking to buy a new router with a gigabit WAN port to take advantage of the fibre NTU.
At any rate, lots of progress so far!
