Day 282 - Front Landscaping

The slabs are all in place for the front landscaping

 
Area in front of the front door

 
Side path

 
Path up to the house


Path in front of the bay and kitchen window

All the gaps will be filled in with natural stone chips, that will compress down well and won't get stuck in your shoes!

Day 252 - Landscaping continues

The front landscaping is taking shape, the big piles of rubble and trees have gone and we have a level surface, ready for the new chippings & slabs.


 

 
Inset drain

 


Shaun suggested using old railway sleepers as separaters between the drive and the beds and we really like how they've turned out.

Day 83 - View from the Front



Here's looking out our new front doorway which is now in the front of the house, innovative huh?!


The small retaining wall at the front has come down



We presume so the giant crane could get access to the front




As all the toilets have gone from the house there's now a lovely portaloo out the front!
