Thank you! This is a great idea and I really was at a loss!
Finished the render removal (mostly)! Though, the bags of rubble are way too heavy for me to lift into a skip, so I may need a plan B for rubble...
Thank you!
Thanks! Today’s work has just been cleaning up the rubble. I really should have put a tarp down. But, before I thought of it, there was already...
Yes, I’m so lucky that Nina is extremely food motivated. She’s getting there with recall (still struggles when other dogs or people are around -...
Ha! I ordered some yesterday, after some googling! I really couldn’t get the chisel under those last scraping of cement, without going into the...
Of course I have had a go! Thank goodness for it, tbh. I don’t know if I would have finished the job with an ordinary chisel and hammer. Probably,...
Oh well. At present, I feel stubborn about trying this, but thankfully, it’s such a distant part of the project, that I’ll have a lot of thinking...
Possibly? But the thought just grosses me out so much. I don’t know why I feel that dirty real grass is better that dirty plastic grass but…Can...
Unfortunately the grass is non-negotiable as my puppy won’t go to the toilet on a hard surface. At the moment she has a litter tray full. I’m just...

They definitely need repointing - which is a bit of a worry! I just had some small patches of the front of my house repointed and it cost an...
Oooooh! Ok, well, now I have an additional project!
Hi all! I drew a plan!! But I have already changed it (with the best will in the world, I can’t divide the sections with garden beds. The space is...
They’re all different! Next door on my right has a patch of grass on the left, next to my garden, but most of it is paved.To the left is paved...
Yes! I was actually rethinking the path, thinking, if I want part of it to be paved, why not a patio that goes diagonally in a wave, to wider near...
Yes! This is so my style of project. I like to dream huge, and then come down to realism as I go along and really learn about the difficulties and...
Thank you! I’ll have a read!Thank you! I’m really hoping for lovely brick under the render - though just painting the mason blocks if not,...
The house is Victorian, but the concrete isn’t! I don’t exactly know why I feel I can say that for sure, but I’m pretty sure I can. You can see...
