Trish didn't enjoy Grand Final day when her team kicked very poorly at goal and went down by 10 points. It was an exciting match to watch but it is disappointing when you let yourselves down with inaccuracy in front of goal. It brought back terrible memories when my side had been virtually unbeaten all year in 2008 and played a shocker in the Grand Final with terrible inaccuracy and were surprisingly beaten. The footy is now all over for another year!
For all intents and purposes the concrete work is finished. I topped up the hole left for the drain with some sand I acquired, filled in some other sections as well and finally set the pavers out in the river pebbles.It should be a little more practical now with an area in place under the clothes line. I am pretty pleased with the way it has come out.
We decided on a couple of rows of 'border stones' to cover up the area of higher ground level over the back fence and our place. At this stage we think the border stones are the best option. I moved the larger table and chairs onto the new area and it all looks better now.Other ideas are to place large pots on the new area, add to the fence hangings and what do do for seating under the pergola attached to the house. I think we are checking out Bunning's this afternoon!
The final decision is what to do with the 'old' terracotta colored concrete area? I gave the area a clean yesterday and it actually doesn't look too bad. We are not sure whether we will paint it a similar color to the new area or leave it as it is and reseal the area.It is around 20 degrees and overcast right now. The pool has cooled right off and we have had a few mls of rain both yesterday and today. The rain is nuisance value really but it has given some idea that the drainage system worked out for the new area at the back should work fine.
