After the school holiday (mid-july they end) would be great for me, actually!No onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516581267618212776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21535770.post-18515635520697099712008-06-22T18:20:00.000+10:002008-06-22T18:20:00.000+10:00The fencing is heritage wire with windsor posts, t...The fencing is heritage wire with windsor posts, the wire a sort of creamy colour and my current picks for colours for plinth and toprail being dark mulled wine red, posts deep straw with dark red accents. Or I may go with straw posts, dark cream plinth and toprail and still the light cream wire... I can't decide!<BR/><BR/>The bricks are being 'recycled' - they'll be the edging of the new path and a decorative brick diamond inlaid in the center along the path. The filling is Tynong toppings<BR/>http://www.burdetts.com.au/wwwroot/rocks.htm, which are a more sustainable version of the lilydale toppings. A treliss wall will block off the bins/gas cylinders from view and be covered with a climbing rose, either a pale yellow banksia rose with dainty little flowers or a great big gorgeous 'Jude The Obscure'. A sandstoneish coloured stone-work circular bed will go where the path diverges from the main door to the mudroom door to add additional visual barrier, planted with dwarf munsted lavenders, silvery foliage plants, a stone urn in the middle planted with purpleish flowers, variagated dangly ivys and silvery foliage somethingorothers. I wish my scanner worked... I have actually sketched it all out! <BR/><BR/>Wait until I've got the path put in and the fence up. The fence posts should be in by Tues/Weds, fencing shortly after that, path in a week or two... then I'll come pick you up if you want. ATM it's sooo slippery (wet claymud=BAD) and no fence around the road so you'd not want La and Bryn to be out there at all!

Pavers? Something else?<BR/><BR/>Geez, I wish I could drive up and have a closer look, you've been there forever and I've never out for a looksee!No onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516581267618212776noreply@blogger.com
