And all she was trying to do was sleep in the sun. These photos were supposed to be documenting me building a patio. The photographer was more interested in the cat. Good job i don’t have to pay for film….
This is a test post from 
, a fancy photo sharing thing.
The Patio has now over run. The main problem has been excevating the hole. The first spade depth was easy enough, but below that has been hard going. Guess I now know how much topsoil the builders added. and as for the rubble layer…..
The pickaxes borrowed from my neighbour have been most useful.
Then there was loads of faff about putting in edging boards, and working around fence posts. The builders put in fences using a hole, the post and Postfix, rather than using Fence Post Spikes which my dad has always done… the result is having to deal with concrete blobs which are both essential to keeping the fence up, and almost in mid air by the time i have dug out surrounding soil.
And now I discover I should have got 2 (bulk) bags of sand in the first place….
Still, the good news is that I have now managed to get about 25% of the bricks down. now we are really having to wait for the extra sand to finish the job. I guess my evenings next week will be quite busy.
This weekend, I can always start moving soil around the garden, and bagging the grotty subsoil ready for taking to the tip.
Then we can start on the lawn….
