Update

Not exactly finished yet, but we have two schmicko garden beds in and a lot of seedlings in the propagating trays ready to go in when they're up to size.
The painting is waiting on a bit more fine weather and the retaining wall is nearly finished around the back and west side of the house. The entertaining area is pebbled for now and is dry. The tanks are overflowing.
We set up the BBQ table and chairs and actually sat out under the sadly faded unbrella on Saturday and had our first BBQ. Just lovely.
