That's a nice spot pete, in amongst the big trees. What type of house are you building?

Rn'R.

australian pete · May 5, 2009

it's a prefabricated house, builder is hi tech homes at bringelly (near here) 5 bedrooms, long ranch style with a verandah all along the front and halfway along the back, house is already built, they bring it in 4 sections and only takes a couple of days to put together.will post some more pics as work progresses.

What are you going to do about the roos when you try to make yard. Will they eat shrubs and flowers? Wives get real excited about critters eating their posies. I planted 2 rows of blueberries and the deer keep chewing them down each spring. Same for willows and other shrubs. Had to explain what the missing bark on 2 trees we planted last year was yesterday. The bucks come up to the feeder and rub on them and stomp her flowers. Nice to live in the country but it has some headaches as well.

i dont think they eat shrubs or flowers, i doubt we will have flowers anyhow. my wife likes the roos, im going to put a fence around the house so that wil keep them away from the house .

Pete , how come you have not scanned the front page of the brochure and posted it yet ?

I can see a test area for the rebuilt Rayco behind that Roo .

i know your making a joke about the brochure reg, however it has gone over my head, you have lost me.

as for the rayco testing ground you are right on there, i have recently poured the concrete slab where the rayco is going to sit while we fit new tracks/rollers etc, rayco is now parked there, have to get some railway sleepers for it to sit on while we strip tracks. looking forward to thinning some of that black wattle.

G'day Pete , i was wanting to get a heads up on what your house looks like . They usually have a picture of it on the brochure . I guess I'll have to be patient and wait for the photos as you build it .

the rain has held us up a bit, however poured the slab yesterday morning, started pouring at 5am using lights.

bear · Jun 14, 2009

Glad to see yer making progress Pete. I know what you mean about the rain. I doubt I'll get my garden out this year because of it and needing to get other things done when it's dry. But it's better to have it than not.

australian pete · Jun 15, 2009

rain is always nice bear, it just comes at an inconvenient time occasionally.
