So close!!!
Well I am THIS close (imagine thumb and forefinger a mere centimetre apart as I say that) to getting the backyard done - but alas the bank insists I am over-extended financially. In fact they were a little surprised that I could even support my current liabilities let alone consider borrowing more money - of course they fail to realise that I took out all of those loans while working full-time. Anyway, to take a step back, Dave and I finally admitted to ourselves that the backyard would best be tackled by a professional (i.e. someone who would actually finish it before Charlotte goes to school!!). And all in all his quote has come out only costing us $4000 more than it would have cost us to do ourselves - and it will be finished in less than 2 weeks he insists. I believe the weekends of blood, sweat and yelling at each other that we will avoid are well worth the money!! Now I just have to figure out how to convince the banks I can afford it!! Will keep you all updated!!

Things won't seem to hard to do when the weather cools down. Just the thought alone of re-inventing the garden landscaping during a Queensland summer makes me sweat.
ReplyDeleteI love gardening on a sunny, winters day.
the bank rejected me for finance so not quite sure where to from here - apparently I am too financially burdened as it is (well I could have told them that) ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteI just plain flat out don't ask the bank for money. I know they'll never say yes. I'm sorry I didn't win lotto. I would have given you all the money you needed.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that Darling!
ReplyDeleteSee, all the more reason to get Charlotte out to work now... ;-)
Bring on Winter (just not in Sydney).
