Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted October 17, 2020 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thanks @Mysterae that’s defo on the cards - but agreeing anything in this house takes time - and often lots of it. I find decisions are far quicker in the garage department 😂 1 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted October 21, 2020 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Had Johnno up last night with the jcb - kinda where this all started - all the spoil piles of rubble and dirt have been tidied away nicely and levelled over nicely. Wow - what a difference it all makes. so just the fencing to get sorted now and then the decking and summer house can be thought about 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Popular Post Barrykearley Posted November 21, 2020 Author Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Fencing put up this week while I’ve been away. Just the small front section to go up Monday with the gates onto the side path. I’ve gotta paint them tomorrow first though. A temporary wire fence is where the gates should be - I finally have a garden the dogs can’t get out of and bugger off down the road. 4 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted November 25, 2020 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Sadly when you get outside of London - the ground is sometimes not level and you just have to go with the flow. There’s several thousand tons of bedrock about an inch under the surface where the fence is - hence why the house is built where it is - next to the stone 👍 2 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Popular Post C8RKH Posted November 25, 2020 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 My mates son is an "explosives engineer". He'd sort that out for you in no time @Barrykearley He's only very young and he's a great laugh. People ask what he does for a living and he just gives them a deadpan, bored look and says "I blow stuff up!, you know, bit like a Terrorist but I have a license and a nice yellow vest!" 1 2 Quote Alcohol.

Gold FFM Popular Post Barrykearley Posted April 2 Author Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted April 2 so this week has been a couple of hours here and there sinking posts into the ground Been busy this afternoon. Decking boards all down after a delivery of a few more just after dinner. Jacko came up with the digger and found some topsoil for me while doing another task. still unsure of exactly what rail set up we will have round the high up edges - and still unsure of the steps into the hot tub area. That will be addressed soon. 4 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted April 2 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 2 Sure have chap - that’s why a deck has gone in just there. 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted April 3 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 3 Up early this morning - quick trip to Travis to get more slate chippings. Back home and a trip to the post office to tax the figaro - bloody thing was classified as disabled in the taxation class due to the last keeper - so couldn’t do it online. Side of decking by the path boxed in - slate chippings laid. Then off to the garden centre again to part with another kidney for more planting. looks a whole lot better - we actually have something that resembles a garden now. 2 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Popular Post Barrykearley Posted April 18 Author Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted April 18 last of the planting up for now done - the odd pole and wire arrangement is an electric fence to discourage the dogs 😬. Next job is the decking side rail and then I can get onto the near side of the path which is going to be the site of a summerhouse/gin shed 5 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted June 16 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 16 Decking banister/rails still not done yet - we have decided on posts and stainless rope. Picked up the timber on Monday but it’s still too hot for my motivation to kick in. The plants are doing brilliant - and we even had a lesser spotted woodpecker pay us a visit earlier in the week. Rain due tonight 🤪 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted June 16 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 16 Ooh the missus managed to catch a very brief glimpse of the woodpecker tonight. A mate of mine reckons there’s a clan of woodpeckers that come just to laugh at my muffin cats haircut. The esprit as ever - photobombing in the background. I collected my youngest in it from school today and got a right bollocking for being embarrassing 🙄 IMG_0889.MOV 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterae Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 Video not playing Barry. When we first moved here we could hear that wood knocking sound of the woodpeckers headbanging the trees. How their brains stay intact I don't know! Don't hear it so much anymore as they must prefer the peanuts we put out for the birds. 1 Quote Signature not working...

Gold FFM Popular Post Barrykearley Posted June 19 Author Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted June 19 Just cut a couple of posts to start doing the side rails for the decking. Now sat in the kitchen wondering if I’m really cut out for this chippying caper 🤪 3 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted July 7 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 7 Added a raised bed today - dug in some sleepers and concreted in. Filled with dirt and compost, been shopping for more plants, ready for planting tomorrow. Friday is the day the rails will be added. 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
