Cleaned up th side path today so we can hopefully pave it in the next couple of weeks. Piles and piles of timber, bricks, bolts and other sharp bits and pieces :rolleyes:

Most likely treated pine. It's ok as long as not near food plants - like fruit trees! :confused:

From: Is CCA treated pine Safe? - Softwoods

In order to get a proper understanding of the safety of using treated pine, this ingestion information must be taken in turn with the idea that the overwhelming majority of the treatment will be locked into the timber chemically for the extent of it’s life and will likely go nowhere. Having said this, it’s also prudent to point out that a very small amount of leaching can occur from the timber. This potentially poses a small danger to soil close to posts sunk inground. The leaching has been shown in studies to affect the 100mm surrounding each post. These studies showed that root crops grown next to CCA treated posts inground showed a small amount of coughnic content (which was determined to be in a safe organic form, and could be removed by peeling) If you are concerned, this leaching issue can be averted by either not growing anything within 100mm of a sunk post, lining your garden’s perimeter with a gardening plastic, or mounting all of your posts on post shoes which will lift them aboveground and prevent any leaching whatsoever. Softwoods mount all of our posts on post shoes (except occasionally with internal posts for decking)

And theres still so much to do. My mum keeps reminding me there are still boxes in her garage, which I'm aware of given I'm missing a heap of linen still. Started to sort out the study last night; boxes that the movers put there need to go in the garage, and boxes in the garage need to go to the study. Also need to do another cardboard tip run (hopefully tomorrow).

I'm happy to come down and help you and @TomVexille reposition boxes and any heavy lifting that needs doing, but I won't be in MEL until 17th Jan and you'll have probably already finished...
