| Installed and ready for Block work |
In the meantime, our Block layer turned up with his crew and laid the first course of Blocks around the perimeter of the house, so as the Termite Company could put into place the Termite Protectant (the Pink Stuff you see above the Block)
Now the frame is ready for the Tuff Stuff Sisalation Paper to be fixed (weather permitting)
Another garden bed was set up around the Ikon Septech Treatment System. This will stop vehicles and foot traffic from interfering with the system. Also helps to have an area that's a little tidier for the periodic checks and/or maintenance.
Here we've plants so far: Lavender Avonview, Lavender Violet Lace, Lavender Winter Lace, and the Princess Lavender. Pigface (Pink), Triangle Palm, Bangalow Palms and Fan Palm also planted here.
Over the last fortnight we have added our Tropical Palms, Fruit Trees and our Norfolk Island Pine Tree. We got in 12 metres of Bark and spread this out as well.
Starting to take shape now.
We've planted Canary Island Palms, Fan Palms, Dwarf Date Palms (three trunks), Giant Bird of Paradise, Pony Tail Palm, Bangalow Palms, Triangle Palm, Majestic Palms, Yuccas, Banana Plants and Pineapple Plants

Our Fruit Trees so far: A Walnut, A Fig, A Lime Tree, Two Lemon Trees (one of which was a gift from our good friends Peter & Anastacia, and an Apricot Tree.
