IT'S ALL HAPPENING!

Well the new patio is but not the internet! Our new provider was going to set us up for the 17th but no, BT won't hand the line over until the 23rd!!
So even though they are not fixing our internet they'll not let us get it elsewhere until it's been a full MONTH!!!!  BAD service!

Anyway we have bought a dongle so have some access but I need to be careful not to use too much at once as it's now got to last until the 23rd!

So a quick report on the patio!


We are having a grey brick edge around the paving, the wall at the side runs out, so we've had the line set back to allow us to dig out for footings once we get the wall rebuilt but need to see when or if our neighbour is going to remove his outhouse. So this was on Tuesday.


and this was this morning , Friday. It was raining so you can see the various colours


Today he was on his own but he got a good few more stones laid and is even coming back tomorrow, Saturday to get more down.


he's even done the step up into the garden area.


Saturday he wants to get this area laid up to the brick edge.


I have to say it's looking so much better already!

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result , it's so nice to finally be having this done.

    The new pavers look beautiful, and so spacious! Lots of room for Ragnor, Percy and the other boys to run around and maybe play a game of tag!

      Thanks Steve, we are really pleased with how it's coming on. I'v heard some whispering about space for a castle tower!!!
      tag would be easier to deal with I think than arrows whizzing by!

      Thanks , but Paul's for once not to have to lift a finger! He's enjoying watching it all happen while he sits at the computer working! :)

    Just love everything here (well apart from the rain that they had to work through!)...the choice of slabs, the varying colours, the overall pattern and the grey brick edging finish!

      Thank you Kendal, I have to say we are really pleased with how it's turning out.
      Looking forward to them finishing at the end of this week and getting it back to use.
