Wellllll welll welll, where to begin, we finally decided to start sorting the garden!
As you can see from the pictures it needed it!
We had one of those hedges which I can only describe as a prick from hell bush! And one of those bendy fences the kind you try and tie up only for it to fall in to next doors garden once you have spent hours trying to get it to stay upright :).
First on the list get rid of the fence support (hedge) then what to do with all this hedge once its down. We are very unlucky with the fact that mid terrace house's dont have rear access so everything comes through the house. One very unhappy Mrs.
Right next job get the fence sorted, we get on with our neighbours but sharing a garden is a step to far and a little close to Mormons for my liking.
First trip to that ever so convenient diy shop b and q to get the timber for the fence. Now I hear you all cry why b and q you can save money if you get it from a timber merchant.
Now im one for shopping around and getting the best price but you find me a timber merchant that is open all day Saturday and Sunday and one where I can buy just one more feather board!
So up goes the fence well..... lots of cutting and measuring, screwing and hammering and tada its up!
My only complaint I have is the width of the feather board I would have rather gone for wider boards mayber 150 instead of the 100 that b and q stock but hey you cant have everything.
Oh and I forgot to mention the help from my little man.
Fence tick
Next the dreaded decking...........
