On your marks (not you Chris)............
Two more crates have been brought round and I'm hoping for some builder's bags to line them. They've offered (honest I didn't ask) to barrow round the rest of the soil to start filling them
The capping stones and big blocks will be salvaged and they're about to start
Not bad for �50
I hope not!! He didn't give me chance to read the tattoos on his chest either
There's an even younger man, with his jeans around his hips, barrowing soil round from next door and shovelling it into the crates. Only problem is - I'm one bag short so have had to line the 4th one with a cheapo tarpaulin
My job, apart from making coffee, is to pick out all the flowering bulbs in the soil. Goodness only knows what they were but some look like my bete noire - Montbretia
All the salvaged parts could be used to build a wall instead of putting up a fence - think of the money you'd save on expensive fence panels!
Funny you should say that - they asked if I wanted to keep the screen blocks
What's upsetting me is - they're ripping up perfectly good paving slabs and smashing them into the hardcore They'd make a really good path for someone.
I'd be seriously worried if I was your mother too Shen
The builder changed it today to "he'd be worried if I was a relative....." So nice to know he cares
Probably worried about what's in the genes (yes dear, genes). Fancy a diet coke break?
Its all quiet here now and safe to go back into the garden. Two semi-naked men at once wasn't good for my heart
So this is how it looks now - with temporary barricades to stop dopey dogs!
The temporary trellis bit you've put up looks better than the low fence, 'cos it makes next door seem a green leafed continuation of your space. What about wrought iron railings?
The thing is, next door's fence isn't up yet, so a lot of what you see now, will disappear - and, until its there, I don't know how much will go
Also, I don't want to be able to see down into their garden, as I can now when I'm closer to the "fence".
Today's suggestion was a narrow flower bed backed by a fence/trellis, height to be determined later
