I had a rectangular piece of polycarbon cut to size with 2 holes drilled at each end.The first piece was too short after I took it home to put against the hole in the rangehood to cover the light bulbs & had to get another one cut. This time I gave him 2 hours to do it and he agreed rather than having to go back another day. He did a good job but charged the same as the first piece which cannot be used due to my mistake.

Approximate cost: $25

Came here for a quick shop & found some vegetables bagged for $3 & strawberries at $1.48 a punnet. Store is small but would have the basic necessities of a convenience store in a surburban area.

We had garlic bread, 3 different types of pasta, rack of lamb, Pollo Zucca,Vitello Della Casa,Choc Lava Pudding with coffee/tea served with a birthday cake that I brought which was plated up beautifully with cream & ice-cream after it was brought out with sparkles.
