HELP AND ADVICE PLEASE

[Gromit]

Well if we hadn't done a little 'side deal' with the machine driver, the quote we got to hire the machine was ZAR10 000 plus labour! This was a bit of a schlenter deal so only a couple of hundred I'll never make that mistake again!

That's the way to do it Maybe not as much fun as a keg of dynamite but it gets the job done.

I had forgotten all about this one, lucky you managed to find a chap doing work in your street

 

[Gromit]

Yeah, we were really lucky. AND, they have a ton of good soil at the construction that they need to get rid of so we said that if they'll come and fill the hole at no cost, they won't have to pay to take the soil to the municipal area - so we get the hole filled too! With decent soil.

And that is a big plus!

Glad you got it sorted Gromit.......I would have probably done something...uhm drastic(explosives)....resulting in having to pay way more to repair the damage .

There are certain advantages to being a girlie

Well the koi-garden is starting to look great! Busy cleaning out all the creepers that took over during the quagmire stage, cleaning the rocks and what was the cascades and drawing up plans for planting I'm not sure what I want to plant in the area but I do know that purple iris lillies will play a part - other than that, I'm still working on it. Will do photos when it's done.

 

[CarlS]

Very good. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Why not plant some indigenous stuff like all good South Africans and we can all come and help with the harvest and have a braai

Waaahahahaha Dave - I found some of that stuff growing in the back yard behind the shed! I have no idea how it got there and it wasn't mine!

 

[CarlS]

Gromit, did you find any poppies back there?

 

[Gromit]

Ummm Carl, just a couple if I remember correctly
