    Hi guys

    Over the last 12 months I have been doing a massive landscaping job on my land. Unfortunately my i phone was not backed up and restored and i lost 6 months of pics.

    Now in this time I have a new fascination - that is blue stone. I am doing a front fence and numerous walls using bluestone pitchers. Over the last few months I have collected nearly 1000 blue stones. I mean great quality blue stones usually picking it up all over melbourne with a 1 tonne ute.

    Still have another 500 to pick up. Most of them have been secured from gumtree or landscapers.

    Now I am going to lay them.

    I will confess - I grew up working as a labourer for a brickie, that was my ol'man, we layed everything including blocks but have not laid a brick in over 5 years.

    So I bought myself a concrete mixer - as the old one we had we gave away.

    I will be in the next few weeks building the piers and the walls.


    I am happy to post before and after.

    Realing spewing I lost 6 months of pics from my phone, had a massive excavation job. Great results too.

    Please share.

    I have done around 1000 sandstone rocks around the place too.

    Cheers Ivan
