Trees

Little update

We're pretty much finished, but I have added some shrubs and a bargainous £2 rose bush to the garden as well as done a bit of painting the fences.

Future jobs include:

• Building the brick wall out back
• Finish painting the back fences
• Scraping all the rubbery bits off the back outside wall of the house (where they had glued a conservatory I assume)
• Replace the guttering
• Paint the soffits
• Replace the fence out the front
• Build/buy some sort of Wheely bin hider/camouflager.
  
• Fit and paint internal doors
• And one day get a new kitchen

Most of the above will wait till next spring now, but we're in the process of booking a carpenter to fit the doors for us before Christmas.

I will try to get photos of the garden soon as it's getting better and more mature already :) I planted 60 tulips, and 100 crocuses and snowdrops, so I look forward to when they come up.

Before and after...




Carrots from my garden!


My first gladioli


The front garden April and August

Carpet!

And progress is being made on the kitchen:

Hallway finished (except carpet)

We've had a busy few weekends finishing off some small jobs, some which we had been putting off for a while.

We finally painted the ceiling in the bathroom and put the bathroom light up:


I got some photos I took printed on canvas. The top left is cornwall, right is Gizmo, bottom left Times Square and right is the New York Skyline, all taken by me. They are to go in the Bedroom.


Here's the front garden again


And the hallway...finally looking like a hallway and not a DIY storage room.


And the landing:

Garden after 2 weeks away

Tomatos and Carrots:



Gladioli at the back, Dahlia and Lupins in the middle.
