I noticed he used particular type of nails. Let him know your contacting him from Australia - he's very nice and I'm sure he'd reply. Thanks for adding me to your blog roll - Im adding you too.

If you don't have one, grab one of those soft rounded end hammers for working on the corners ;)jules @ The Diversion Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261889891875232983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420434554422570226.post-60813297995596992692010-07-16T01:49:04.956+10:002010-07-16T01:49:04.956+10:00Great posting, so many choices....and great advice...Great posting, so many choices....and great advice from the girls, I know Jules but not Tricia so will try to pop over later :)Mariska Meijershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658702527305909342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420434554422570226.post-37104605976296214052010-07-15T23:22:25.099+10:002010-07-15T23:22:25.099+10:00OOOHHHH, the zinc is lovely, I especially love the...OOOHHHH, the zinc is lovely, I especially love the second pic with the giant mirror, what a lovely option.
