Re: next to do job

What about lifting up the bricks that lay underneath those large stones, and then lay paving slabs and then put the bricks on top to give it the same look as the side of the Greenhouse

Myra
yes I do stop, it is called sleeping
The thing is I and Sue want to get everything straight neat and tidy garden wise.

So the next BIG project is to make a circular stream in the garden with a water pump pushing the water around. Get a small bridge over it and put in a couple of fresh water sharks in it. The problem is going to be the under water coloured lighting with auto colour change
Actually that is not the real problem it is running the power cable off the nearest street light.

Do you have any idea where I can get food for the fresh water sharks? they only eat caviar so may have to get something else instead fish wise, caviar is sooo expensive

Re: next to do job

Watch your fingers with the Angle Grinder.. My hubby nearly cut his finger of last year with one and needed a lot of stitches and he can hardly bend it now..

I see that your levelling the whole area.

Re: next to do job

Oh yes very very careful, even to the extent to tell Sue not to come anywhere near to distract me.

My angle grinder is a professional one which takes 9 inch discs and weighs a ton. Did the cutting on the grass on bricks, ever seen red grass??


Just cut the bottom of the far corner post which was part of his contraption and nothing to do with the fence. So Tomorrow it is back to Homebase for one more slab then cut a triangle to fit. Then it will be bedding in time having got sharp sand this afternoon and readymix cement for the joints.

It is one of those jobs I just can't wait to get finished, very frustrating
