Lets start outside

Welcome to the Harley's House blog. Technically its not my house yet, so part of the mission is making it so (in the words of Jean-Luc), which unfortunately involves giving all my money to Remi. Hmmm flashback time.

So far on that front I need to get the house re-valued, as hopefully house prices have dropped. Then I can do my maths and make an offer. Eek.

Until then I thought I would start in the garden. This is partly because I don't want to spend tonnes on the house until it actually is mine, and partly because strong winds earlier this year resulted in this...

Hmmm...wonder if those rotten posts had anything to do with it?

So...15th March the folks came down to help. Although looking back I kinda like the extended garden with water feature thing...shame about the public footpath through the middle. The morning was spent in Wickes and B+Q having fights over who was paying and seeing if 6x6 fence panels would actually fit in the Walker van (thanks tonnes Alison). Despite the drizzle we then got digging..


Pops taught me how to make concrete... (feel quite proficient now, plenty of practice after 6 posts)

Who says we're alike??? Can't see it myself...


Rain stops play at the end of day one.... just two posts in. Something tells me sorting this house may take a while.
