Chez Marsden is having the ‘brownfield site’ that was the driveway converted to a courtyard area so raised beds going in and flags / cobbles going down, we also rent the adjoining plot as an allotment so they have cleared that, put a couple of raised veg beds in and there’ll be a bench made from spare bits from the courtyard – not spending too much on ‘the plot’ as it’ll never be ours…. closer to the road there’s new tarmac going dowm, could not see the sense in spending on flags to get them full of cack and oil….
internally, lounge and master bed being decorated – its been done once on phase one renovation 4 years ago but we’ve had the roof re-done which meant all internal ceiling needed skimming and some remedial work on the plaster in other rooms got done as well, net result all rooms need a lick of paint again – we’ll have to do the rest as funds / time permit….. 😕
Be nice to have the courtyard done, we’ve not been able to use the outside for anything but parking since we moved in, roll on the first barbie and G+T in the evening…..
Must dash – got to clean up the fireplace and hearth before they paint, (a job for ‘brick acid’) then the wood-burner can go back in 😀
