Been very busy over the last 2 weeks and starting to see some significant progress.
Things done:
* All planter boxes completed, rendered and painted
* Alfresco area rendered and painted, outdoor BBQ built
* Front area shaping, leveling and preparation for grass.
* Side pathway levels raised 300mm to compensate for stairs and stormwater
* Pool area tiling completed. We went for Villastone pavers (600x400) in the limestone colour
* Outdoor shower built with hot and cold water
* Pool stage 2 installed, filtration hooked up, power, lighting etc etc
* Travertine laid in Alfresco area
This week sees (hopefully) the side fencing installed, pool frameless glass fencing, turf prep and installation.
