oh wow! thanks rivlas!

sorry for taking ages to get back to you...thought it wasnt going to get replies LOL!

i think you're right. we'll definitely have to check it out. for us we would want a bit of a deck with a cover (gotta love melbourne's inclement weather LOL!).

i'm a bit worried by the cost but like you said it is cheaper than buying a house that already has it done and not quite the way you want it IYKWIM....
