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. Then I hired a mini excavator and levelled everything in preparation for laying 100 square metres of turf. Enjoy! See […]

Lannix Design is run from a residential home so space is limited at the current address. The workshop is under the house which is open to the elements and not suitable for having the office set up down there.

Tripod End Table Project Sometimes you just need an end table. I can’t say that these small tables are a passion of mine. I’m not sure that anyone would say that. This one was designed and built out of a need that arose after my baby son arrived. But let’s not get into that. I
