RACV Home Show

We went to the RACV Home Show on the weekend. The Homeshow featured pretty much everything to do with building, renovating, landscaping, and general housekeeping stuff.

The show was held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. One of the main things I was looking at was garden and outdoor ideas. Since we have such a small patio garden it is going to be important to make the most of it, so good design is key.

One thing that did p me off was the way they were advertising the show was, 'bring your houseplans and get free advice and tips from builders, landscapers ect'. Now yes they did have a stand there called 'ask a landscaper', and you could go to that stand, look at designs they have done elsewhere, but that is where the free ended. For them to look at your plan and give you ideas you had to book... and just that booking, just for them to share ideas about what could be done was $2,000!

We also took both lots of parents to the block on the weekend to see the progress that is being made. To my surprise, they had builders there working on Saturday til around 2pm.

Its going to be a pretty average week this week. Working in Melbourne Mon-Thurs, then in Adelaide for the day on Friday, flying home Friday evening. So far I have no plans for this weekend which is good, because it is only Monday and I already feel totally nackered.
