Thanks guys.
A neighbor came and stopped my wife as she was driving out and asked who made our amazing gates!

Great job on the gates and I like the layout of the house. I wanted to ask about the lights on either side of the garage door, can you give me a manufacturer, style, part number or maybe a close up photo of them? Thanks.

I think I found it.

that looks like the one. obviously here in New Zealand they are 240V but same 60W lamp. i think here we can get that fitting in bronze/black/white and a silver grey i think.
from memory the wire hole wasnt center so may pay to get the lights before you drill holes so the fitting is centered where ever you want it.

Thanks a lot Slydit, I found them here in the US for $74.00 and in two finishes, Bronze and Black.

Well it's been a long boring winter in garage land.. so when spring sprung i got organised and turned the big pile of dirt out the front of the house into a boxed garden and railway sleeper/Lime chip path. The conduit sticking up will be the location of the custom letterbox..... oh i put a shelf on the wall above my bench too.

So will your Posty ride all over your lawn to give you mail?

Looks great.

yes probably. We arent allowed to put anything over the boundry line (front of garden/step) except for path/driveway.
I had thought about putting it on the corner of the garden next to the drive but that was a) inviting a car to hit it, and b) looked a bit unbalanced to the eye when we photoshopped it.

our postie already rides all the way from the corner of the section to the front door accross the lawn to drop parcels...dont even get me started on how much that annoys me.

sorry for the bad pic. Hard to get lighting right with the LEDS above the bench being so bright...

Added a vice and steel sheet to the benchtop and a temporary shelf with 8 way server rack power outlet.

Built a letterbox...

Your bench and letterbox look fantastic, well done.
