First Project - The outdoor area
















There is nothing like a beautiful outdoor living area for relaxing with a cuppa, entertaining friends or pottering around your potplants and herbs.

When we moved into our place, our outdoor area consisted of a badly painted deck, two small patches of dying lawn and a small path.

My parents are coming over to assist us this Australia Day to turn our outdoor area in to a suburban sanctuary, well not quite, but one area will turn into a garden and the other will be paved.

Mum is also bringing her high pressure hose in order to clean the deck and make it look more presentable.
It is Saturday today and we have lots of preparing and shopping to do in order to prepare for this working bee on Tuesday. I am very excited about improving our out door area. I cant wait to tend to my new plants and have a gathering of friends spilling over onto the new paved area.

Our list of things to do today consist of:
- Go to gym (nothing to do with the prep)
- Buy pavers from Bunnings
- Buying sand, concrete, soil and mulch
- Ripping up the existing grass and raking the area
