Not just does it give you more liveable area, but it might make a statement piece that will stick out.A covered pergola is particularly valuable during the hot Aussie summer, offering protection against the harsh sunlight so that you can enjoy the outdoors any time of day. Covering the exterior with creeping ivy and other climbing plants may also cause a whimsical spot that is excellent for comfort, right on your garden.

The Best Electrician Richmond Has to Offer

I’d recently renovated my kitchen in Richmond, we installed a new hard top kitchen bench, put in some new kitchen floor tiles, put in a new stove and decided to completely redo the electrical work for the whole house while we were at it. It’s quite an old home, originally built in the 1930’s, and we were still using the old fashioned electrical board with ceramic fuses and wires. In addition to upgrading to a new switchboard with safety switches, I decided it’d probably be best to replace all the old wiring, as well.

I asked a few mates of mine that work in the construction industry who they’d recommend to do all this electrical work and it was between MBE Electrical and Briggs Electrical was the way to go. They both do everything from large scale projects, to test and tag, down to residential odd jobs, and were happy to come out and give me a quote for the work needed.

The guys that came out were very professional and were able to explain exactly what needed to happen and how much it was going to cost me. Just to be safe, I got another couple of quotes for comparative purposes but in the both of these guys proved to be the better electricians in the area based on both service and price.

We booked in the job with MBE and they came out the very next week to begin work. They spent the entire day there and didn’t leave until everything was up and running and they even tidied up after themselves once they’d finished the job.

For quality wrought iron gates Melbourne wide, give Haven Fencing a call

We recently bought a new house just outside of Melbourne. It’s a beautiful old Victorian era home on an acre, perfect for the kids. There’s even a little pond in the back yard. However, the fencing on the street-side of the property was pretty old and falling apart, so we decided we’d have to replace it straight away. My wife and I are really fond of the black wrought iron look and had a look around to see what we could find. We both kept coming back to Haven Fencing.

Haven Fencing gave us an obligation free quote for the whole job, and it was by far the best value for money we found. They could even do an automatic driveway gate for us. We ended up getting them to do the fencing for the entire property, not just the street-side, that’s how happy we were with their work. The guys were very friendly, showed up when the said they would, and made sure to clean up after themselves once they were finished. I’ve got no problem recommending Haven to anyone in need of fencing – they’ve got the best value for money fencing and wrought iron gates Melbourne has to offer.

Hali Rugs, I Hang Them on the Walls

The worst thing we’ve found about Hali rugs is not having the space for some of them. We have a small lounge and while we’ve had a Hali rug on the floor there for years, we really wanted a new one. We went in to Hali and chose out a beautiful new one and were actually going to clean up the old one and sell it.

A Cute Cubby House for Your Backyard

Sometimes going to the park with the kids seems like the biggest burden after a long days work. After the first 4 years of being a parent, we decided to get some outdoor play equipment for our backyard. We don’t have the biggest backyard, but it is big enough for a few accessories to keep the kids busy.

We decided on the all reliable Cubby House and Trampoline.

Looking through the Lifespan range (which was recommended by a friend), most of them were so cute, and have such a nice aura about them.

We ended up with the 8ft trampoline and the wallaby cubby house, we measured the garden first and made sure it would all fit and we got the equipment in with room to spare.

I would really recommend these products and Lifespan for those looking to give your kids a little extra.

Enjoy the fun with your kids soon.
