House renovations take a long time generally, and it is no different with Brisbane house renovations also, I’m sure we will end up meeting and using many different people along this renovation journey.

So I thought I’d keep a list of people we use in one spot, not only is it a great place for us to keep the data as we all know business cards get lost and memories fade of who we used for what part of our renovations.

I’ll list the companies and trades as we go under the renovation area they either quoted on or worked on, also if you want too, you can click on the room and see where we are up too if it is highlighted, this will be a continuous process too, so I’ll be adding as we go.

Today I gave the rest of the gardens a good dosing of Charlie Carp organic fertiliser.

I had done the back garden and lawn yesterday and can still smell the fishy smell everywhere.

So I did the side of the house, the three front gardens and the lawns at the front too and it took about an hour to do.

I use the water tank water to do this as we have lots of taps connected to the tank and pump around the house, by the looks of the temperatures we have had during winter I’m going to need the water tanks for the garden during the spring summer months, this is unless it gets too hot and then we have scorching days and storms through the night like it used to be like when I first shifted over from New Zealand.

Charlie Carp is an organic garden and lawn fertiliser made here in Australia from European Carp as its fish source, its available at most hardware stores, I usually get my stash of it from Bunnings, I buy the concentrate as I use a hose spray bottle and mix it with water.
