I just had a look, wow it sure does! Such a beautiful stone.

Looks great Mark, I love that stone in the bathroom! Looks stunning. And the alfresco - wow, it's huge! I guess that's where most of the cooking will be done.

Congrats on moving in Jelbell! What an exciting time!

Yeah I'm a bit worried about spiders, i do think we'll get some. Cross that bridge when we come to it i suppose. There's always pest control!
We're going to put…

Yeah the digging took a while! We got the rocks from Creation Landscapes, through a friend. Said friend also had a compactor, so we used his. He came over to…

Hey cat_dunc! Yes the red marker indicates the water level on the tank.

We're currently in the throws of building our firepit, fun but so much work! I'm trying to log into Tapatalk to post some photos, but it's being recalcitrant today. Hopefully…

I drop by every now and then to check in, but I confess I've been a bit lazy about it, and though I do miss the thrill of it all…

I'm all over the place at the moment Jo, haven't got back into the social media groove properly yet!

Looks gorgeous Jo! Love the flower arrangement, wish I knew what specific type of eucalypt that was so I could plant one.

Congratulations on keys mal! Your house looks fantastic, and your kitchen is gorgeous!

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas, especially those of you enjoying your new house :)
Here are some moving in pics. Excuse the mess…
