Tree services companies here in Brisbane are many, you just look at the listings when you Google “Tree Services Brisbane” and also if you look for “Tree Service Northside Brisbane” or “Tree Pruning North Brisbane” just as many come up, so I thought I’d let you know about the people we use (Or are about to use at time of writing this) for our tree services as they are coming on Wednesday to give some of our tree’s a trim.

We have been in our house for about a year and a few of the tree’s feel like they have exploded in their growth and are getting closer and closer to our decking area, so come the time to book in tree experts to come and quote and then to do the job there after.

My Wife’s parents have used this company before as they had to get a new driveway laid on the land they were subdividing, so they had to get this area cleared, in that case there were about eight trees to remove, stump grind and mulch.

They had done a very good job at this, so we decided to get them in to give our tree’s a prune before they get too big.

We have decided from this we will start with the laundry renovation first, because we have kids, my wife spends a fair amount of her time in this room (As most Mothers do) and at the moment it is just a stock standard wash house with a free standing cupboard, wash basin, washing machine, dryer on the wall and a camping table on the side, so not very elaborate and also not a very good use of the space.

The next step was for us was having a think about what we want from this room, easy to use, more storage and also a proper place for the wash basket rather than just putting it under the camping table and of course colours.

The final decision of what we want when renovating the laundry, as obviously I am a male of the species, doesn’t really come down to what I want as I don’t spend the time in there and so I don’t really know what I want, females seem to have more of a vision of the ultimate laundry, kitchen or bathroom as they spend a little more time in all of these rooms, maybe my domain will be the toilet reno and I am totally cool with this.

During this preparation time my wife had been looking through magazines online and also a lot of kitchen websites for ideas on the laundry renovation, her parents had used a local Brisbane Northside business and so we booked a meeting to run through a few things and also garner ideas from them.

As you can see in the pictures the laundry is looking a bit old and tired and is in need of the make over laundry renovation.
