Board? Try Swinging...

No, not that swinging... Today we visited the second hand timber guy and got some 150mm treated posts. 4.5m long with the intention of building an awesome swing for the tin lids and big enough for the big kids too.

what's the legal overhang?

Fence finished
With all the extra work that we've had on at work and the rain i haven't had a chance to get up to the block to take a photo of the completed fence. It's a little sad now that it is finished as it makes it look so formal and hemmed in. But i guess that it the job of a fence.
Our neighbours are quick off the mark and have already planted some native plants along a new stretch fence.
The contractor did a good job and it looks as though it will last at least two or three generations.

Strong foundations
Also completed this afternoon was the end of the first course of the garden wall foundations (if you can call them that).
Although they look higglety pigglety, they are rock solid and do not move under foot as you walk across them, proof that the are tightly bound together and should provide a stable platform for our low garden wall.
Now to start on getting it out of the ground!
