Today I met with a young couple new to Perth to discuss their fallen fence screen. They'd recently bought the house to create a nice home for their little toddler.
On seeing their backyard, I was shocked! (see 1st photo).
The previous owner who was a "carpenter" installed the deck, a pergola and fence screening for the sale.
Now, I don't believe in being critical of another tradespersons work but ... The deck actually had no framework under some sections of boards, the boards are an economical brand that have not lasted the distance, the stump foundations are not concreted into the ground but sat on the sand, loose, the screen is sat on the deck with no support. The pergola ... well thats another story.
I really felt for this couple who want a quick fix.
Morale of the story, please do it right or don't do it at all. Tidying up your outdoors for the sale is one thing but making a hash of it is creating a problem for another.
The second photo is of a patio and deck we dismantled and re-built new for lovely clients who wanted to create a show stopper for their house sale.
This is the difference. ☺️
