      How many flats share the garden @Zigs

      Has anyone taken an interest since you have started clearing it or they all not bothered

      Glad you have a new home Zigs.
      Your doing a grand job there already, looks like it was a challenge and eye sore but you are the right man for to sort out that project.
      That area looks like it could be a nice sheltered spot to escape to, once you have it sorted, with enough room to be quite productive too!
      Keep us posted, we are all proud of you and what you are doing there. A true gardener making a little bit of heaven wherever you land!

          Only one other flat, it's round the back so I doubt if they've noticed.

              Bet they do once you have made it into something! Folk can be funny like that; especially flat folk! ;)

                An outdoor bathroom? That's very leading edge :)

                    Good work Zigs. Maybe the landlord will give you a reduction for all your hard work? (fat chance).Years ago I tamed a similar "garden" which belonged to the block of flats I was living in. After much blood sweat and tears it was transformed into not a bad area to be in. Within days of finishing it I was joined by the other residents accompanied by their dogs and beer cans. Didn't take them long to turn the area into a state again so afraid I gave up and left them to it. Hope your efforts gain more respect.

                      Oh good: so, what type of neighbour is he? Hopefully you'll be buddies seeing as you are living cheek by jowl.
                      Here's to your potential friendship :ccheers:

                      He's chatty enough, but Simon reckons he might be moving out soon :sad:

                      Got a fair bit done today, didn't get the rain they forecast.
