    I simply adore how you work with real people who live in homes that the average person lives in. It’s so easy for people with means to up-do their homes to look behind achievable and makes the average person feel like they could never come close. Thank you! What a lovely couple!

    What a well-deserved project. The team certainly did themselves proud helping this delightful family.
    Many people are positive in adversity, but my goodness, this family take it up an extra notch...or ten.
    I hope that they have enjoyed their new outdoor space to the full.
    They are truly a humble couple, an inspiration to others.
    Blessings from England.

    I live in SE Alaska, which is a temperate rain forest. LOTS of rain, so a roofed area is a must. My covered back porch leads right off the kitchen through an 8-glass-paned door which means there is a full view onto the porch. Because I don't need shelter from a hot sun, I have a double-clear plastic roof which allows sunlight to flood the area. I cannot imagine not having an outdoor room in ANY climate. Imagine sitting wrapped up in a blanket, sipping on hot cocoa and watching the snow fall. Yes, I am even out there in the winter.

    Every time I see these raised decks with space under them, all I can think of is all the spiders and dirt in a year or two. And it's Australia, so I don't even want to know what critters you guys could potentially get in there! =O

    Good luck to his wife, this is what mum had, she recovered from that only to die from lung cancer (never smoked a single cigarette in her life either) a few weeks later after receiving the all clear from brain cancer. On the bright side, it didn't affect her mobility and she was climbing trees to prune them almost to the end. Best of wishes for the future.

    Lovely! But every time I watch these I think, "they *really* need to get plant rescue going in Australia!" People love rescuing mature shrubs, even if they have to resuscitate them. Give them away and save the hauling costs!. Where I live, the demolition people sell everything -- including the landscape. Strictly DI removal, in that case, but everything gets taken most of the time.
