The deck is about 95% done....only the edging around the pool left to do. This weekend, he and some friends did a couple hard days' work building steps up the side of the house....turning what used to be a sand pit dumping ground into a useful piece of real estate...and hopefully it will keep the neighbourhood cats from using it as a giant litter box as well!
Before I show you the back garden, I'll show you the hard work that Andy and his dad did on the front garden when they were visiting us a couple of weeks ago. Our plan for the front garden includes replacing a lot of the old plants that were there, so they went ahead and ripped out the stuff we're not keeping and gave the rest of it a good trim...it looks a bit different! Unfortunately, the priority is now the back garden, so it will probably be a while before we'll be able to show any more progress to this part of the garden :)
Now...to show you where the real work has been taking place!
 |
| Andy and his friend built the concrete footing for the new wall that will hide the ugly driveway from our entertaining area...quite impressive, I think! |
 |
| The deck area and the pool area...still some paving to do before I can really make use of the pool, but it's coming along nicely! |
 |
| The pool again... |
 |
| Andy hard at work shovelling rocks onto the new steps that he put in over the weekend...makes a big difference! |
Just wait until the next installment! Andy's spending every waking moment he's not at work on the garden, so there should be some impressive progress over the next couple weeks!
