17/12/2015 decking stained and laundry completed.

Laundry - glass splashback was put in a week ago. Bit lazy with the blog these days....its Starphire glass and the colour match was Dulux Seafoam (half) . They managed to fit a 3m piece in with no join. The colour is actually a little darker in real life.

 

Decking.

The never ending deck is almost done. just three pieces needed to cut and finish off at the back and at the front. The pool area has had two lots of stain, the alfresco has one coat and we will do another tomorrow night. Dirt also arrived last Saturday and has been spread around. We won't completely finish the garden until the high side has finished building (maybe three more months) as a lot of their stuff falls onto our land. (as per previous  rants neighbours didn't want a retaining wall) so at the front of the house we didn't build one and now as they have built up we get a load of crap all fall into our yard and footpath. )not sure how this will right itself maybe after they landscape and discover they need a retaining wall after all)  but it is not important right . Deck looks pretty good for amateurs ! I spent the day cleaning out the pool shell in the hope they will turn up to finish it .....not looking good. 40 degrees tomorrow and I still can't swim.

 

 

we have handed in our warranty fix list. just minor things I guess - cracked tiles that were cracked and not noticed until we moved in. rusty window and door handles. kitchen tap leaks at its base, and a few other things...
