A Family that fences together stays together!

The first turn of soil

 After having such a bad run with the actual house we decided that we would like to start the back garden so that when we finally move in we will have some fruit and vegies established. So I finally have a weekend off work and its off to the block we go to start working on our fence. The plan is that we will have about 8m x 22.5m sectioned off for the ugly things like vegie garden, chook shed, garden shed and compost heap.I would also like a passionfruit vine, some fruit trees and an ornate tree with a garden bench and a fairy garden.

Club Banks

The goal was to dig some holes, mix cement and put the posts up on Saturday, then come back Sunday to start putting the palings up. After having the soil classed as "E" one would think that it would be easy to dig a few holes or 10 but apparently that ground is rock solid and very compact. So after strapping his hands up and a lot of cursing Gav got 7 holes out of the way. The kids got a bit bored so they swam in the wheelbarrow, they rode their bikes and went for a ride to the Climbing spider.

The Poles

 Because it took so long to dig the holes, the poles went in today. So some time in the next few days we will go out and start the palings. Once that is done we will build up the garden beds and start building the chook shed. I want to put in my passionfruit vine as soon as possible and start working on making pavers to go around the garden beds and around the house.

Vegie patch

So although not as exciting as picking tiles and toilets, I will be updating on garden progress until we decide on a new plan for the house. All going well the garden will be completed by May June in time for us to move in to our house. We are speaking to 3 new builders, have some designs in mind and are waiting for the Industry to come back from Vacation to get on with it. We need to look at prices and inclusions and see what takes our fancy. I've added a short list of three plans that we are looking at and trying to visualise living in.
