5th October 2014

Thought I would post some progress pics of the retaining wall and fence and thanks to my dad, we now have side gates. It's handy having a sheet metal worker for a dad :) All we need to do is finish painting them, then get some timber on them. Really hoping we can finish them soon as I'm getting sick of chasing a 2 yr old around the house and down the street.

I've managed to finish painting the back fence and almost there done with the left side. There is still a lot more to go though. Unfortunately we ran out of besser blocks yesterday, so we couldn't finish off the wall. Was surprised to see the place that we got the besser blocks from closed on a Sunday. We will have to wait yet another week before its finished. Really not sure what colour to paint the wall yet. I don't know whether to match the facade or go a darker colour for some contrast. I would prefer a darker colour because it would make the gardens 'pop'.

  1. Look at that wall, it's fabulous Nai, Pete's done an amazing job. Yes definitely go darker...as this will definitely contrast to the facade colours and bring out the colours of the garden...especially greenery! What planting are you looking at doing? go to wholesale nurseries if your buying in bulk, you'll get a better deal. Put plenty of mushroom compost in as well for the nutrients. Good luck with the finishing touches, I can't wait to see them.
