Well the months have flown by since last update, the colder months have come and gone with a friendly reminder in the bright and often bleak overcast spring mornings from time to time.
The work has not stopped rolling in for the past 9 weeks the Blue Sky Yards team have been erecting 6 foot (old scale) or 1800mm (new scale) treated hardwood paling fences for customers in the Araluren Heights neighborhood of east Gympie. With a landscaping job squeezed in somewhere in between laying down salt and pepper rock in the court yard and erecting raised garden beds mulched with wood chip.

| Dealing with a tricky corner |
Somewhere along the way we also managed a timber retaining wall or two that came up a treat with a little natural timber decking oil . We do this to preserve the timber for up to 2 years and then reapply to using a high pressure washer to strip the oil off. Using this technique there is no need for regular maintenance What a house holders maintenance dream!

So now is the time for that often neglected and important pieces of yard equipment to be serviced at you local workshop. And which pieces of equipment you are probably wondering? It's the lawn mower and brush cutter. And last summer it copped a flogging at my place.There is something very Queensland about mowing the lawn one minute and the next the heavens would open pouring rain giving the grass just what it wanted most to undo all your good work. All you can do is keep trying to keep your house looking good and to say I'm proud of where I live.
So that is the spring update.
