Gazebo...

Busy day today....the guys came back to finish off the gravel on the paths and to erect the colourbond fence going around the outside of the spa.

Poor things, the wind today was horrendous..the amount of dust and debris flying around was shocking.  They had moved the empty avairy onto the alfresco so they could pound the gravel down along side the garage, the wind blew it over...i did have some bird cages on the roof of it, one of them broke...

In the middle of this the guy turned up to install the gazebo onto the spa....with the help of the landscapers we managed to get the spa into the right position...over the top of the electrical cable not beside it.
This guy had just as much fun as the others did, the wind kept trying to rip the sides out of his hands...it took him about 3 hours to put it all together...you should see all the dust that covers it, even the inside of the spa is filthy.
The only complaint i have is that he left all the cardboard boxes and bubblewrap and the protection for the glass windows blowing around the yard...all this came in a wooden crate with metal bands around it...and yes, he left that as well......grrrrr

The landscapers finished around 4ish and have done a really good job....yes, we did have to pay for the watering system....$180, but it is money well spent.

We have sent a message to the owner of the concreating company enquiring as to where the guys were to do the nature strip...we now await a response.

bits and pieces for the gazebo, you can see the wooden crate in the background
