Metoo Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 I will take some daylight shots tomorrow. We have some new plans For the surrounds.  All along the right hand side of the deck there will be a pond with lillies and goldfish.  It will have some kind of water feature and will be lit up at night.  here is a pond that we built a few months ago so similar to this only longer.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s taken all our time (and money lol) for the past 6 months.  It was very hard work and quite scary at times, especially when the roof went on. But, summer is before us now and we can sit back and enjoy it.    2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks lovely...not jealous one bit x Thank you @Conyo2588, when we arrived in Australia almost 5 years ago, we had no idea where we would end up.  As it happens, we have moved 3 times (including moving states) We are happy now here in Queensland, even with all the covid uncertainty, life is good.  This is where we will stay, in fact, if we didn’t have family back in the UK I wouldn’t care if we never went back again.  I wish you luck in your visa journey and I hope you find your happy place in this amazing country.  Anything is possible if you work hard and keep your eye on the ball.  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metoo Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 That’s a shame about the concreter, I have heard that there is a shortage of concrete at the moment.  I think with the travel ban, everyone is having work cone on their homes and concrete is in big demand. It must be very hard building your walls in the summer heat, but, just imagine, once the water is in the pool you can jump in any time and cool off, bliss Whenever we are working in the garden, our reward is always a cool drink and a dip in the pool at the end.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
