    Is this where the gravel is coming to, Babe?

    Will it be open house? Can I just arrive any old time for viewing?

    It's going to be a beautiful haven, my lovely, and I can't wait to see the photos.

    Just don't kill yourself doing it all, okay? [​IMG]

    All tidied ready for the route from the road to the back. I recon 30 barrow loads per tonne times 8 is 240 barrows. Times 2 is 480 trips at 100 foot is about 9 miles !!! then there is the issue between trips of shovelling it in the barrow. I think I will count that as my exercise for the day. I have to get it done between 4pm and dusk tomorrow. I will be thinking hammock :D [​IMG]

    This weekend I bought shares in ââ?¬Ë?Mid Essex Gravelââ?¬â?¢, and here are the dividendsââ?¬Â¦

    Not much sun about, and when I got the camera out it rained. I had to take the hammock off, but you can see the frame.

    BM you have been busy.
    As you probably know I am not a 'gravel' lover, but that does look really something. [​IMG]

    Think I would have used bark. :D

    Certainly would have been a lighter job in bark ! I loved the lawn but this has made it a room we can use all the time. Plus watering wise it makes sense.
