We’ve been busy with multiple projects going on at once but this is one we’re glad is finally finished. We take you through cleaning up the backyard and preparing it for the concrete driveway pour.

I have a couple of projects on the go at the moment, as well as some health issues that I’ve been dealing with. At the top of the list has been preparing the backyard for a concrete driveway into the new shed. I wasn’t able to do the concreting myself since it’s not a one

Most of my spare time has been spent renovating our house lately so I thought I’d try documenting the process. I’ve made a video that I thought may be helpful for some people who are interested in trying some DIY work on their own house. Tradco door handles look great in older Australian homes. Since

Formwork & Slab Pour It all happened at once. It seemed that as soon as the old mango tree had been taken away as a pile of woodchips, we had the concreter coming to prepare the site for his formwork. If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that I’ve been keen to get the shed

Slab Preparation The go-ahead was given to the shed builder in February of this year and we were told there’d be a six-month wait til it could be built. Apparently this is normal across the industry at this point for some reason. So much so that we had to go with the only company that
