OK you can now see the back yard of my rental, and the steps that I have to go down to the yard - this patio section is in the shade so I plan to use it.

Now I am sitting on these steps having a beer. Bit warm as I haven't got a fridge.

I need to do something with this patio area before Mrs B comes back in a month's time.

So short of getting Channel 7 in to do it for me, anyone got any 'makeover' ideas, both for the patio area and the yard. I guess I need a table and a few chairs.

Wow at least its got a garden, when we came over for a visit in December most of the houses looked so close together that you could hold hands with next goor.

Not what I expected in such a vast country, still I was still wearing my rose tinted glasses.

'looks like I am not going to get my beachside plot on Acerage !!!!!!!'

Nice shady tree, prune a few branches out of it so you can sit under it for shade and move the hoist!

OK where did the shady tree piccy go, now I have a footy shirt, bring back the shady tree or I'll look stupid.

lol the tree is there still, the footie shirt was my first makeover.

Along the wall get some honeysuckle, They will grow up the wall and spread out like like mad, They have pretty small flowers and smell FAB

dotty

I must stop taking drugs, now the footy shirts gone Badge

you must have used the back button in your browser, Dotty.

Honeysuckle sounds good but I want to keep my deposit and not have it all over the fence. Methinks gardening is beyond my remit, but a bit of Bunnings touches here and there may work wonders.

Defo a cheapo plastic table and chair(s). Cheap barby.

How far from The CBD is the rental chateau?? You dont have to name the Burb, just wondered how far you were from the city?

Badge

1 hr by train, less by car. The rental is a small 3 bed villa - infact the yard's not a bad size - and the price reflects that it is 300m from the local centre, and 7 mins from railway.
