Courtyard...

Today, the driveway people were supposed to come back and do the nature strip, they are going to put granitic sand in it in lieu of having lillydale topping, they tell us its a much nicer colour...fine, but, if you are not going to turn up at least ring us!!!  Lets see what tomorrow brings.

Today was also the day when our spa was to be delivered, Tony and I spent nearly half an hour moving everything out of the road of the single garage door so they had a straight run thru to the back yard and onto the slab.....hmmmm....no one thought about the trim on the render...oops....not enough room, so the delivery men ( all 3 of them ) and tony and I had to move everything and i mean everything out of the way from in front of the double doors and make a path thru to the roller door at the back....there was gym equip on the driveway, boxes as well, boxes up against the door into the house, stuff everywhere.  After all that the spa only just fitted thru the roller door.
So we decided to then re-organise the garage, wow, we have alot more space than before, can't wait until we get the sheds up and all the boxes go out...we will definately be able to swing quite a few cats in the garage then :)   (not that i would do that ).

Went into Wallan for lunch before Tony went to work, we got a phone call from the landscaper, the crushed sandstone had arrived in and they were turning up at our house in an hour to start laying it...bloody hell...talk about bolting your food down......we had to hurray back cos we hadn't finished moving all the boxes in the garage yet....did all that and they turned up.....so now we have crushed sandstone down the side of the garage and the start of a path from the garage to the alfresco as well as an area at the back of the garage. Tomorrow they start the prep work for our instant turf.

Who knows, maybe the driveway people will turn up too.......

this looks so much better...the side fence will go behind the render, at the moment the avairy is an animal blockade

  1. Looking great! I'm waiting to see pics of that spa up and running, you are going to love it! What colour is the inside of your spa? We have a nice blue 5 seater spa on the 'never in your wildest dreams could we afford this' list. Lol - at least we are prepared if the opportunity arises! lol.

  2. Love your list name.....as for our spa it is black and has white swirls through it...its called 'pearl shadow'.
    We had one of these spas a few years ago and sadly had to leave it behind when we moved, so it was always on the list of 'must haves' with the build. :)
