Getting there, but still a few more Block Laying days to go!


Again, been so busy with everything else that no time to take photos of individual days and it's progress. Here is where we stand now.






















Created another garden bed for trees and ground covers (really it is an extension of the first one on one side of the front boundary). This time, we've laid out weed mat to help minimise future weeding!

The House as it stands so far .... and some more planting

Haven't had a chance to take progressive daily photos this last week. So, this is the House as it stands so far.


























From the Shed Kitchen to the South Side of the House 
We've planted some more trees up the rear of the property.

A Pine and an Elm from Bacchus Marsh (an offspring of the Avenue of Honour Trees)
