  What I've spent today doing.
Posted by: JohnL - 31:st-May-2014, 20:37:37 - Forum: General Chat - Replies (13)

Bit of a background. Bought our 1st house nearly 3 years ago. Previous owner had made quite a few questionable alterations to the house. For example removed the front door and fitted at the side. Made to living rooms and moved the kitchen to the side of the house and in turn made it very small. All this resulted in 3 very weird shaped rooms. Anyway the house was the right price and ticked all the boxes. So 12 months ago we made a start on putting the house back to how it should have been and sorting the rear garden out. This has resulted in the car taking a bit of a back seat and the front garden been left to go wild. Luckily there's only a bush and 1 flower bed that is just full of weeds. The flags that ran along the front of the house were all uneven so we have lifted them and done the following





So this run's along the front of the house from where we re-fitted the front door. It's filled with green slate and two flower pots. As you can see we've still got a load of work to do as the drive is a combination of tarmac and concrete. Not sure what we are going to do yet. We also need to build a wall around the garden and remove the bush that is currently there.





Thanks for looking
