Thanks :). Hubby is not a builder, but I reckon he could almost build a house. He has done a LOT of building work and there is not much he cannot tackle and do well. It is very nice having such a hubby :D. A builder we met two years ago on a reno job who did some work for us (work that hubby...

The shop friends got their travertine tiles from for a very good price is open tomorrow and again on Boxing Day. If we find something we like at the right price we may just buy it.

Thanks for the compliments. We are enjoying titivating the pool area. It has been long neglected really. We are going tomorrow to look at some travertine tiles. We will do the retile ourselves. New tiles will go straight over the old ones. We are not sure if we will keep the black pool fence...
