Re: Up The Garden Path

Given your current work ethic, it's not exactly the biggest job. Probably spend more time washing your brush or roller afterwards than actually painting it on.

Re: Up The Garden Path

Change of plan, got another tonne and a half of topsoil coming 7.30am Monday, so a bit more turf striping to do. The topsoil will go a lot further now, only got to make up one inch instead of eight.

Re: Up The Garden Path

You seem lucky with the weather.

Re: Up The Garden Path

Agreed. Pouring down here.

Re: Up The Garden Path

Its very warm here, need about three more days of this, then when the big lawn is laid, it can pi55 down as much as it likes.

Re: Up The Garden Path

Just got back from work, done another 15 mins, will have this strip done for tomorrow night.

Re: Up The Garden Path

Was out at 8.00am turf stripping when the biters started, copt it on the forearm but, most unusually above my lip below my nose, it looked like a small cut and swole slightly.

Re: Up The Garden Path

After the encounter with the Horse Fly yesterday (lucky I had some Antihistamine Cream, and some Allacan Tablets) had to cover arms with long sleeves, this has made skimming hard warm work. I am about half way up the centre strip, so I will start barrowing the soil to this point, then work backwards with the levelling.

Re: Up The Garden Path

Here comes the soil, ready for rolling.

Re: Up The Garden Path

You are doing brilliantly. Loving your supervisor think mine would be happily digging what I levelled once my back was turned.
