Landscaping and Paths

For a few days there, the front of the house was looking relatively presentable! Not so now!!

The landscaper has been busy - removing even more dirt out the back and leveling it ready for our outdoor paving. We're having an arc of reclaimed red brick seating around some red brick paving. Something a little like this.

He's also doing retaining walls on the back and side fences as well as planting all around.

It's going to look GREAT, but for now of course it means more moving dirt, more bricks being delivered, and generally more mess!

But wait - there's more!!!

 

Out the back. A dirt pile yet again.

This was exasperated by the concreters coming today to pour the side path and dig up the crossover and footpath. Bobcats everywhere, concrete trucks, utes and workers. It was all happening!

I am so pleased with the way it is coming together! Have rung to organise the water tank to be installed early next week (hopefully) and the fences immediately thereafter.

In the meantime, I have moved a few things across to get the kids excited about the idea of moving. I want them to be really happy and enthused about the new house and I figured the easiest way to do that was to start making it theirs. So - a sneak peek at the beginning of their new rooms!
