Tile Selection appointment.

 Tile selection appointment today. It took 3hrs to sort out our selections even though I took a folder full of inspiration. We knew the range from our preselection appointment. Most of the tiles we wanted weren't in the range anyway. Its so good to get this part finalised.

Frame and Bricks

Urban one - Chiffon / off white mortar

After 8 working days putting up bricks. Urban One - Chiffon

Workers are back!

Yes that's right the workers have returned. The brick layers have moved piles of bricks around the house ready to get stuck into it. Can you see the bricks in the photo at the back of the house. We spoke to our SS and he said it will take at least 2 weeks if the weather is good. I checked the weather and it is all over the place. Crazy hot days. Today will be 35 degrees and tomorrow is 36 degrees. Then storms and more storms. Love summer!! So if its not scorching hot, it's stormy. Hopefully, they can get early starts before it gets too hot.  We also noticed we got out water metre from the council. I was worried it was my responsibility to contact council because ours wasn't done. All the other blocks had theirs first thing before they built. Anyway glad its done now.

More pots

Nothing happening at the block due to the Christmas break. The bricks are still sitting there waiting to be put up. Over the break I had to move some of my pots and saw some were becoming pot bound already. The roots especially with the blue fescue were coming out the bottom and even buried into the ground. They wouldn't be happy and dont think they would last another 7 months. So the last few days we have been busy re-potting them. We divided the blue fescue again in half and put them in smaller pots and used their pots for the other plants. So lots of shuffling around. We used 1 part cow manure to 3 parts potting mix. Hopefully now they will all last until we move in. I water them all everyday to keep them happy, except the agave which go yellow with too much water. My backyard is starting to resemble a nursery. They are all grouped now but in the garden they will be mixed up to resemble a bush setting. If you want more details on the design check out my landscape plan on the first page of the blog.
