4 days to go : BUILD DAY 8

While there's so much that's been achieved today it's selfishly the fabulous massage from Phil Johnson's on site masseur that has given me the most relief. I am so very grateful for his caring camaraderie on a day where my back just didn't want me out of bed.

We have no photos today - it was dark when I left today and I just plain forgot. The picture would be spectacular though, perhaps giving too much away at this late stage of the build. You really must come and see it for yourself because this truly talented, committed team has created something that may just change how you live your life. There really is something for everyone in this garden.

The stonewallers were on site today, creating the heart shaped drystone walls for the last time. All that practise enabled the best to come out today; the final piece of the puzzle. Absolutely beautiful work boys! The Arbour boys delivered a magnificent sales hut out of a 3 metre diameter rainwater tank today, the bench a work of art in itself and created with such care and artistry. Craig put together the first of the twig fences,while Dan slogged through the sand dune retaining wall finishing. Stewart had a lovely surprise with the red corrugated tin wall at the back of the shed - closer inspection will reveal all and delight! Once again the Swinburne team of lecturers gave it their all with their students and we worked like a well oiled team.

Now for sleep! Short but sweet!
