Hi,

Presently the garden makeover website is not up and running. However, garden work and house work will hopefully happen in tandem over the spring and summer months when I do not want to be trapped in doors wiring amd plastering all the time. I Plan to ge the website into action come the spring to log the project.

The garden is about a third of an acre, so it's quite a big garden, but not quite 'land'. It's a mess. Brambles, weeds, bindweed run rampant and I have trashed what was a lawn during the building of my large extension.

 Overall plans include:

• Major landscaping. Already I estimate I have shifted over 50 tonnes of soil
• Laying of a large patio using natural flagstones
• Laying of long and windy brick paths
• Altering the rear of my workshop roof to create a sprocket roof. I will then build an oak veranda to run the entire length of the workshop. (My wife and I call them cloisters, but that may be overly grand)
• Installation of water and electricity services
• Creation of a veg plot and associated veg beds
• Building a new brick shed
• Building a summerhouse
• Building a large Pizza Oven
• Pond / Bog Garden
• Pergola
• And lots of planting of shrubs, tress and borders. As it's my wife that knows her Ranunculus from her Robinia, she will get credit for this.
• To be continued...
