Re: fencing any ideas
I lost a job last year to someone else to lay a small patio, had a call from the client a couple of months ago to ask if I could go and sort it out.
You should have seen it, one inch B&Q slabs on a central dollop of pug. all the edges had broken off and the couple of inches of hardcore could be lifted with the slabs!!

It's not difficult. I'm not 'overly' skilled in these things but built a beaut around the out laws garden (still waiting for the bloody thank you) last year!
If you can work with muck and a level, she'll be reet!

Re: fencing any ideas
I've done a fair bit of fencing in my time, and wouldn't *touch* wet concrete! Setting each post upright and packing with dry concrete is the only way to do it unless you are going to spend hours securing each one while it sets.
The '87 "hurricane" blew down half a fence we'd put in a week or two before - but each concrete post snapped off at ground level: the bases were solid as - well, concrete!

You lot must make your mix pretty sloppy.

If you have no joy look up any steel manufacturers in the yellow pages or most places like Mitre 10, Bunnings, Dale and Meyers, etc all stock Colorbond materials.

Re: fencing any ideas
One of those "laws" that are not really enforcable by law. Up to the individual if they want to contribute or if the person who wants the fence up (if it is a replacement fence) asks them to contribute. I have seen a situation where a person was not asked to contribute to the costs of either the material or installation of new fences by neighbours.
