And raise the lawn up a bit me thinks......turf currently at Redland bay $3 a roll.....Better value than seeding.....

The Step to put the cover on or wash the roof......or because I really didn't want to dig it out completely....and don't look I actually didn't line up my bolts this time.........Not happy with myself....little bit OCD with this sort of thing.....
Didn`t look at the bolts till you mentioned it:doh:. Good job though!

Hey Antman....Love your blog...is it hard to set one up....I am in the "gifted to the point of eating clag........" class of internet users.....

Hey mate, no its not hard to set one up. That one took me about 10mins to setup. The time comes when you are actually blogging. The writing and posting pics. Especially when you are out and about and the internet is running through your phone… slowly.. hahaha.
Anyway , if you want some pointers or specifics, let me know via PM and I can point you in the right direction. :)
Cheers mate

Nice work! Loved the story. Memories of my own storage story involving an easy brick pillar to remove.... Except for the three sticks of reo and the concrete filled hollow block bricks.....!

(PS Now admit it..... You got carried away painting that fence post black didn't you...?! Not quite sure where to stop ...... Should have referred it to the committee!:)

Regarding shade sail, I found the material in a roll was cheaper at Masters, 6m x 3.6m, by $24 than Bunnings !! Thats what I used over the framework covering my van. Also the pre-made ones from Bunnings 5 x 5m or 3 x 3m are good, I've used them over the back patio and horse yard, they are good, lasted for 5 yrs so far with no sign of failure and are way,way cheaper than getting some made up. I've got 6 of them so a fair trial of the brand.
