So I’m guessing that the front lawn hasn’t been mowed since May, right?

Your powers of deduction know no limits.

Yes.

or words to that effect.
Personally, I am amazed at anyone attempting DYI home renos with under 5′s and their constant ‘helping hands!’

Just before the cold months make outdoor work impossible, but waaaay too late for Mrsdave to actually enjoy. In fact, if you got it done by then I’d be impressed! You’d be in a minority of home “handy”men.

It’s hard to go past the inside knowledge that Sarah brings to the forecasting. Frank, Brian and Matt will see you right.

Obviously no tradies work in January so end of February it is – just in time for me to arrive for the trip to the AGP! Deck warming it is!

A big project and one we had to balance with the business of staying open.

It also included two decks of about 50 sq metres each, some of them over concrete!

If it’s only 3 or 4 inches, them smash a hole in it. If it’s thicker then use it as a footing by dyna-bolting a plate to take a timber stump. There ends lesson 202.
