There's a lot of natural beauty to inspire in your part of the world there, and by the looks of things, you're wasting no time! I look forward to seeing what you accomplish next. Cheers.

Great to see an OZZY on the site.... I have looked at your photographs and I must say... your projects are "Quite Impressive".

I can't wait to get started.... I have some "GRANDIOUS" plans...

Hopefully you can help me source some supplies... as we live fairly close to each other up here on the Far North Coast ...

I would also like some help with regards to concrete "MIX" recipes as well ....

I have read that there are some "LIGHTWEIGHT" mixes that you can use over Styrofoam boxes etc.... To make lightweight rocks that can be placed and moved if necessary... and even "HOLLOW" rocks that can be used as a "water meter cover" or to cover other unsightly objects in your yard.

I would appreciate any help that you can give....

Eagerly awaiting your reply - Thank you - Pam

I'm only starting out myself and this forum has a wealth of knowledge and people on here are usually only to happy to help! Mix design is a subject that always fires up a massive discussion on here haha. If you look through some of the discussions on here I'm sure u will find what you need. All you need to start out is sand and cement and go from there. There's any number of additives you can put it ur mix as u play around with it.
Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions.
Cheers Matt
