Ah. Thanks. I can see their usefulness in Canberra in winter: Clear blue skies but too chilly to spend too long sitting outside.

My experience is that you will almost always do anything better than someone who you get in to do it - especially in Australia.
It will usually take longer though.

Your decking is bloody well done you know.. watched Viv's hubby put in decking and it was quite a thankless and relentless job! (of course, didnt just stand there for hours literally watching.. I mean, that would be odd) but it came along very slowly but surely!
