We need a barbecue like a hole in the head, but we both love the idea of adapting this to an open carport or garage design. And I love the decking-cum-walkway-cum-duckboards. You see them in every bush path.** Anyway, we are considering making a path across the steeply-sloping front of the house on raised duckboards, rather than excavating and landscaping to make a path. It would be less work, no planning approval would be required, there would be more room for native plants … all good.
** I remember many years ago walking the South Cape Bay walk on the Southern tip of Tassie, which alternates between duckboards over button grass plains and shaded forest paths. I decided then that I wanted a place with duckboards! Of course, I also decided then that I wanted a place large enough to need them… Anyway, see the pictures here.
