Before & After - For Jacque

well done, you managed to get quiet a lot of work done in a few months .
p.s your garage looks bigger than my house lol

oh hard work or what? i like the design of the garage dawnsaunt.

Hello Irsih/Sewingk: Yes, lots of work done since we started on 20.1.09 - stayed quite dry except for when we had the dreaded snow. The garage is my husband's design - you know what men are like - he wants it for all his toys, lol.

~he must have a lot of toys!It is looking good and the grass has grown back or did you turf it?

I have a large double in the back garden so hubby can have his toys in one place. I think it was worth the sacrifice of a bit of garden to kepp him happy. :o)

Arlene: I just filled the ruts with soil and used grass seed - still more to do though, the last picture shows a good bit, lol.
Seaburn: You know where I'm coming from then!
This is in the back garden too - adjacent to the house so now he only has to walk across the drive to it.

ours is at the bottom of the garden so in the winter i have to keep washing the outplace kitchen floors. but i do know where he is and what he is up to :o))

looks great dawn, lots of hard work there, but well worth it, border looks really good, :o)

Know what you mean Seaburn, would rather have them in the garage tinkering than down the pub, lol.

Sandra: Long time, no speak - been a bit busy.
Yep, lots of hard work but that's fine, still lots to do though - slabbing tomorrow, weather permitting!

Wow .. That garage is wonderful Dawn , can you sleep guests in the upper storey , we have a double garage and I would love to do that if you could ... Lol ..
It seems to me that your John is an expert in designing creations ..
The garden /borders are looking good ,another year or two you won,t know the work had been done :o)

not sure about the weather dawn but im hoping to get out in garden to, weeds are having a ball with all this rain :o( nice to see you,, so to speak! busy here to, never a dull moment

What a creation! It's enormous...I hope he appreciates it. I like the curvy borders, by the way. Looking good.

What is it with men and garages, lol. John has wanted one like this forever. The loft part isnt boarded out yet and the staircase will follow too. If in the future we wanted to have the top storey as office space or whatever we would have to apply to the council for 'change of use'. I'll keep feeding the plants on the bed in the hope they'll grow quickly. I've told John, this is the last big project - I'm getting too old for all the work that follows.

Looking well.

OMG i love your Garage & New Beds Dawn :) Its been fab seeing all the Photos of the hard work uv been telling me about ,I bet you& John are so plez its looking this Good :) I also think your Monkey Puzzle Tree Is Wonderful I think their well Weird :) lol XXX

You understand now Jacque why I've had no time. We had a builder to build it but we've been doing all the ground work - still lots to do but at least its clean underfoot now. We are pleased how its turned out. I told the builders to be careful around the monkey puzzle - it was surrounded by clay but it was fine :)

Good thing 2 that those Builders Were Careful cos id be after them if theyd of hurt that lovely Monkey Puzzle Dawn :) Iv seen many of them in gardens around here where i live & think their Fab Trees :)

I've always wanted one, this was set about 8 years ago and its about 10 foot tall now. Have you ever touched one Jacque. I wouldnt advise it - they are so sharp.

Yes i know their SHARP thanx Dawn lol :) little 2 late 4 Warning :/ lol

Ha ha Jacque - you could have said - thanks for nothing, lol

Better late than Never Dawn lol :) The Monkey was`nt the only 1 left Puzzled thats 4 sure lol :)

You're very witty tonight Jacque :)))))

Super, that's what we like to hear!!

LOL...you two ! See what you mean about all the work now Dawn,even though you talked about it the photos put it all into perspective !
So much space....bet John starts to fill it up easily though ! Lol...

Ha ha Ray. They say there's no rest for the wicked .... well, I must be very wicked, lol. I tried to post a picture of the pile of clay at its worst but too big to load, never mind. We certainly went to bed with very stiff backs, lol.
