Re: Tasmania (continued!)
Yes I have been to Agfest, I went last year it was great, you can pick up some bargains. And don't forget to visit the food stalls they have free samples for you to try, yum yum. If you have acreage it's definitely worth a visit as you can some good contacts and information that you might need. We bought so much stuff last year we had to buy a wheel barrow to carry it all around in. Oh and comfy shoes are a must, it's a lot of walking around.

Re: Tasmania (continued!)
Actual due date is 31st July, but they reckon I won't go full term so looking more at the beginning of July realistically.

I work at Pettit Hire who will do most things you may need in that line of work, earthworks etc.
www.pettithire.com.au
I'd be interested in how much the turf is when you find out.

The prices I got from Strathayr range from $6.90 to $8.00 per metre square plus $60 delivery. We've also been working out that we'll need about 15 - 20 tonnes of top soil, to give the turf a decent chance, Angus not impressed about the thought of shifting that much by hand, so we're going to phone around again to get some more quotes for having it done for us!!

Re: Tasmania (continued!)
well I dabble in allsorts really, this one was a watercolour its one I did in the UK. I started going to an art class a few months ago but the tutor moved back to WA. I was gutted and havent really done much since but I thought I'd have a go at putting a couple in the local gallery and low and behold!!
apparently someone has bought it for their mum who is in a local nursing home, the gallery owner let him take it up to her to see if she liked it and she did .. isnt that nice

Hey any chance of seeing some pictures of your work Possoms?
I keep thinking about selling my pictures but never get round to it!!!!
I think they are ok but nothing special.

Re: Tasmania (continued!)
Congrats!!! There is plenty of inspiration here for artists. I'm absolutely rubbish though and wouldn't even embarrass myself to give it a go. It's a lovely art to be able to achieve. I knew you were into crafts, but didn't know you painted, well done you!!

Re: Tasmania (continued!)
I am the same - very sore yesterday and today from Shovelling pebbles. Really feeling it in the tricep area.
Hopefully this weekend will see stage one complete (entertainment area) then we start on topsoil and turf for the grassed area.
We got a new Dog, he is very cute

not sure how long that page will be available to view
