Driveway

14 March 2009

Apart from the main going-ons at Lot 13, Muriel Street, there are some other minor additional stuff that we are planning to manually get involved in. For example, D will be setting out our driveway.

A scene from Malacca

With that scene in mind for our driveway, we went scouting round for the neccessary materials. One weekend found us in establishments like these: -

Soils galore

Quarry Mine

Different kinds of top soils

I have previously envisaged a kind of shopping venue where you can shop within the comforts of your car. Not unlike fast food drive-throughs, I dreamt of emporiums or complexes built with laneways that enable you to cart groceries or whatever items into your car directly and you pay through tolls. It's amazing what the mind can conjure up to cater for the whims of laziness.

Anyway, imagine my surprise & delight when the shopping centre of my dreams was just round the corner!

Adequately - sized aisles for rock & soil shopping

All you have to do is drive around the aisles while selecting your favourite material. Ah, the convenience.

Just drive closer fo a better inspection

Shopping venues aside, this place really offers heaps of the standard stuff you would use for your gardens, outdoors, driveways, pavements et cetera. You get inspired with so many available options.

Red stones for the Tuscan look

Boulders & sleepers

These venues are the epitome of the Australian regional lifestyle. Large outdoor spaces, barbeques, solariums, do-it-yourselves, these concepts were unattainable to me 3 years ago. We could certainly get used to this. Can't wait to get started.
