Day X of landscaping

Okay dear readers - no idea what day we're up to with the landscaping - we lost quite a few days in there when the rains came..... but we're back on track now, the ground had sufficiently hardened (actually baked would be a better word as we have clay soil), and the turf will probably be laid next Monday... but don't hold me to that!!

You'll note the outhouse is still there - well we've changed our minds yet again and we're ditching the outhouse in our kerbside cleanup next week and replacing it with a much more functional (but of much less sentimental value - from an architectural point of view that is) 3x3 colorbond shed - yet to be purchased. We think it's important to have the shed - with so little to argue about in our lives, Dave and I will be able to argue about who hasn't put the screwdrivers back where they belong and why is the tape measure not in the allotted tape measure space. Of course these will all be my issues - anal retentive A-type personality that I am. I even have a peg board in mind - you know, replete with the painted on tool shadows so you know exactly where the tools are meant to be? *sigh*




So here are the updated photos - wall complete, ground ready for new lawn and Carla madly planning which plants are going to go where and how big is my (I mean Charlotte's) sandpit going to be!!

Til next time dear readers....
