Wow Steve, all your hard work is paying off and its amazing how much bigger it looks now.

Its nice to have a garden that is children and mum and dad friendly at the same time.

Not always an easy task but you seem to be making it happen. well done :gnthb: 02

 

Very well done Steve I'm sure it will keep all your girls very happy indeed.:thumb: Hel.xxx.

 

Did u manage to get the paving slabs? Freecycle s great but u gotta be quick sometimes lol

 

the girls are loving running around the garden now

i did not get the slabs as 2 people got in 1st but they did email me to say so that was nice

furniture is not going to arrive before my bbq so its bring a chair bbq :lollol:

will keep an eye out on freecycle for more garden stuff and i have some stuff to go on as i will not use it anymore

my youngest helped with the weeding and managed to sit on my jasmine .. i hope its not damaged too much

the fiona sunrise is dead so i am popping to the garden centre in the morning to find a replacement

thanks

Steve

 

Steve, there's one thing about Freecycle that is not so good, and that is, you have to virtually have a link to the site 24/7 if you want something in particular. When I gave a load of stuff away, including an electric hedge trimmer that I never used, I'd wait until 2/3 days had passed then I'd choose the best excuse for wanting the item, instead of giving it to the first person that writes in. Unfortunately, not everyone is prepared to wait when they have something to give away.

 

its 99% finished :D

i have a small patch to pave or grass but we will see what comes up on freecycle















all that left to do now is email the owner some pics and wait for his feedback

bbq sat night as now its nice to invite friends round

thanks to all for tips and comments

Steve



ahh one thing i am going to do is make my borders bigger so will be out later to do that

 

Very impressive Steve. I hope the weather gets better for your BBQ tonight

 

What a transformation to that garden from the first photos, all credit to you for doing a wonderful job on a tight budget :gnthb: lets not hope that the owner doesnt want to come back when he sees what a job you have done on that garden .....well done, its people like you that make the world a better place ....

 

Transformed Steve. Well worth all the effort

Hard work pays off

had a very nice email from the owner

he loves the look of the garden

when he moved out to go over to south africa he put all his furniture into the garage so i have never been able to use the garage


but he had decided not to come back to the uk so he has asked me to empty the garage and for all the work in the garden i can use the garage rent free:gnthb:

my work used to be boat building so i am a dab hand at fibreglass and have had a few projects on hold because i have not had the room but now i have



the BBQ was great .. all my friends loved the new look of the garden

the only git thing was i got an email from the garden furniture place and they will deliver on monday ahh well just means i will have to have another bbq in a few weeks to test out the furniture



thanks

Steve
