Not much has happened around here for awhile. The Gold Coast weather has been terrible. Raining almost every day.
We have been trying to get the outdoor room finished since early January.
The roof of the outdoor room was finally completed today in the two hrs it wasn't raining. Literally as the roof guys left it started to rain again and is still raining now.
It will be a few weeks (probably months, well in the building world for me a few weeks is a few months) before this outdoor room is finished. The trades are shocking up here. So unreliable. The tiler has been telling us he will be here tomorrow for 3 weeks now. The electricians are no where to be found. I am still waiting for some electrical work inside the main house to be finished as well as the outdoor room now.
Oh and don't even get me started on that painter. ARHHHHH
While out and about today i found the outdoor setting i have been looking for at MASTERS. Below is our back patio/BBQ area where it will live.

Next job for us to attack, is the top back yard. I am seeing 2 large shady trees either side with a (love) seat in the middle. With loads of different ground covers.
Hedges following the fence line for privacy as there is a walk way just over the back fence and we have many sticky beaks.
I want heaps of agapanthas (not sure if that is the correct spelling). Only now i wish i had taken them in bucket loads from all my other homes as can you believe that a very small and i mean 2 leaf small agapantha from Bunnings is $11. So thanks to my sister inlaw who will start me off with 25 small cuttings from her home to get me underway :)
Out the front we are waiting for the driveway gates to be made as well as the front entry gate and intercom. I think i heard Jason say it will be 6 - 8 weeks before they will be finished. So much for no one on the GC having much work on. Not sure what the hell they are doing then.
Looks like another wet weekend for us on the GC. Have a great weekend!
