The decking's in!
I'm really pleased with the new decking! It's only a small area at the back, but I wanted it to be an extension of the lounge on the same level through the french doors, and I've got one of those nice big roller blinds arriving next week for over the top of it! This is part of the new driveway at the rear of the house, and it's all coming along just great! I will post up tomorrow when he's finished it all, I'm gosmacked at the difference we've made out there and we can park 5 cars out there now, with a humping great big garage toboot! The new gates are fantastic too, so we're completely private and secure, and the horrible carbunkle of a garage we used to have has now gone!! Been well worth all the upheavel over the past 3 weeks I can tell you!
I designed this myself, I wanted the "picture frame" effect and I wanted dark hardwood, but it's not quite dark enough yet, it needs more coats of oil, but we'll get there!
It's been a bit like the Fourth Bridge around here for the past year! As soon as we get one thing done, it just shows up how bad another thing is, and so it goes on! Lol! we'll be out there with our paintbrushes this week-end painting the house again now, it looks so bad!!!
That'll definitely be the last thing to do though, I've had enough now!!!
