If you were in Adelaide I'd send my DH round He did a great job on our decking last year. Its merbau, he used a jarrah coloured decking stain on it I have put a couple of pictures in this album. The front deck is oiled in the pics and the back deck isnt. He also made the planter boxes and we ended up having a working bee to lay the lawn and it saved us about $3000, the salesman at the lawn place drew up all the plans for the watering system for him so he could lay it himself (it is an underground dripper system
