Dismantling the old wood wall.

well that has been a good workout and the resulting new wall is going to look wonderful.

That's an impressive weekend's work! The trouble with getting one major job done is that it highlights all sorts of other ideas that hadn't occurred to you before... It will be well worth the effort when it's completed.

Hiring a whacker plate? Wow that sounds fun! You two be careful and don't overdo it.....

Exciting doing a new project, look forward to seeing the new wall, enjoy the concert :-))

I bet it was very satisfying getting that job done Kate. We look forward to seeing the end result.

Julia, I think yoga is more difficult! ☺️ The wall dismantling was much easier!
The bund is sort of compacted and pretty vertical in itself. We cleared it of brambles which eventually spread all over, so OH dug them out by hand many years ago.
We sited a short fence almost half way up and across…and added shrubs to what was there already.
Our fence is covered with ivy, ceanothus, spreading rose and clematis.
We call the lower bund the rockery and at the other side, we’ve steps and shrubbery.

Thank you kindly indeed, Eileen! It was a fab workout - lifting the bags was exhausting though and traipsing round the side with them..ugh! I’m hoping you’re right and the end result will be much more improved!

Thanks to you too, Ange! Yes, you’re right. One job leads to another…it’s never ending isn’t it! I’m looking forward to seeing it all finished and enjoying the new back patio…eventually! Fortunately we have a patio at the house too, just in case the job runs through summer 🙄

Thanks Klahanie! Look forward to posting the new area eventually! 😉

Sue, I appreciate your concern and kind thoughts. Yes, I’m not so keen on the whacker plate part of the ‘task’! We shall certainly take your advice. 👍😊

Thank you, Jane! It does feel quite exciting, even digging out piles of soil - which feels never ending! I’ll be sure to post all the updates and thank you, I’m looking forward to the concert 🎵

Thanks Josee! There’s definitely a satisfying feeling when you feel you’re progressing, albeit slowly 😊. Will post updates later on.

Well done Kate and your enthusiasm is infectious!! Mind you I weeded a tiled path in the middle of our vegetable patch…… getting down was fine but getting up again was not so easy!!!
Please let us know the next stage of your project.

You had a huge job there Kate! But it will look lovely when it is all done! At least you have had good weather!

Thanks to Chris, Julia and Rose, apologies for my late reply! I'm glad you feel inspired! We did some more work yesterday between going out and visiting.
More to come tomorrow 🧱 🪨

Thank you kindly, Paul! You are quite innovative with your wall building and reusing rubble!!!! I did enjoy the concert, thank you, they were fab!!! Lots of nostalgia and favourite tunes! My friend and I stood up and danced quite a bit!!!! Think her husband was a bit embarrassed ☺️
