    Great looking job! What type of paint did you use? Have you fixed it down securely, because out here in Oz, there can be problems with people par-taking in a few games of the old 'Letter-Box Baseball', but by the look's of the area you live in, you probably would'nt have that problem. Beautiful looking area, very picturesque

    Good idea, and nice design. one question though: considering wood is so naturally beautiful, why would you paint it?

    there's no school like the old school.

    Very nice.

    If I put anything in our nature strip the Gestapo ( local council ) would be around quick smart with their camera taking happy snaps so they could fine me.

    No.

    The nature strip is the bit between the footpath and the road.
    Dont you get wombats up your way?
    We even get drop bears running down our nature strip here.
