Verandah & Extension Footings

There has been lots of progress outside in the yard since my last blog post. We have removed the excess concrete from the perimeter of the front (former) carport. This will allow the new front veranda to sit nicely over the top of the remaining concrete (once it is built), providing a really handy storage area underneath. 

You can see in the below image where the concrete has been removed. The existing carport roof will be removed at some stage soon once it starts getting in the way of the building. 

The post holes for the veranda and extension footings were also dug last weekend and Dad has been preparing the stumps and rods which will hopefully start going in this week. All of this digging makes you realize what beautiful rich soil we have! So excited to be planning the landscaping and gardens for these new areas.

Such great, rich soil!

Autumn colours... how beautiful!

We had Mothers Day lunch in my backyard last weekend and the weather was perfect. The trees are just starting to lose their beautiful leaves now. Wishing we could press 'pause' on the weather now until Spring.
