today baz did our first new deck, he started about 11am and now its 7pm and he just finished, it took longer than first thought because we had to move alot of loose stones first for the frame to sit, that in its self was hard work, after the frame was down baz was on a roll, there wasnt alot i could do but fetch and carry, in between brewing up, all in all he has done a fantastic job, his poor back is killing him so a hot bath and a good rub down i think,here are a few pics and once i have set out with pots and my bistro table and chairs i will put them pics on to, thanx for reading about our new deck and hope you like it as much as i do :o)…sandra,,, ps, of course angelina had to come and inspect everything,,,lol


here is the end result now bistro set and pots are in place, im sure i will add to it though and the surounding area has to be finished off

All the hard work has certainly been well worth it. But shhhh, you need to make him feel appreciated now so you can get the next job out of him, ha, ha.

2 May, 2009

 

Doubt it Milky, lol.

2 May, 2009

 

funny milky, im sure you could,, does ray like to get stuck into a project?

2 May, 2009

 

Good work, Baz! Can you read the compliments from your flat position? Great job, it looks really lovely.

2 May, 2009

 

well done, it looks as if it has been down for ages. and plants already:o)

2 May, 2009

 

As if by magic!

seaburn... i did have plenty of pots anyway just now i have somewhere new for them,, off to carboot in search of new things 2moz,,,

Wow! You are lucky! Of course Angelina had to inspect it, she might find some nice "mices" under there! Lol! Our cats find theirs under our shed, maybe one day Angelina will leave one by your door? Sooooo thoughtful of you to provide for her!

I saw on the BBC wildlife programme someone who made a hole on purpose for hedgehogs to sleep under, I thought that was so cute!

I tried to persuade my hubby to get one built for us. No go, and even getting a new patio will be difficult for him to agree to I think, sob!

2 May, 2009

 

would be nice if it was a case of magic dawn,, but then again you get more pleasure standing back and seeing what you have achieved dont you think

2 May, 2009

 

aww craft... is your hubby not into DIY,,and it would be lovely to see some hedghogs living under the deck

2 May, 2009

 

Definitely San ... I love to go back out late evening after a hard's days work to survey what I've achieved. :)

2 May, 2009

 

me to dawn,, infact now we are getting the garden on track i could sleep out there lol

2 May, 2009

 

Aww, bless you - exciting isnt it. :)

2 May, 2009

 

it sure is,, i so love all we are doing with the garden :o)

2 May, 2009

 

Good for you San, you'll be so proud of all your hard work.

2 May, 2009

 

yes and looking forward to having family round for BBQ this summer to show it off :o)

2 May, 2009

 

They'll love it. All we need now is a good summer :-;

2 May, 2009

 

now that would be magic lol

2 May, 2009

 

Your not wrong San. Goy members were saying last week that the Met Office are predicting a good Summer - I so hope they are right - been so horrible the last 2 years. And more importantly your decking needs christening after Baz's hard work. :)

2 May, 2009

 

well fingers crossed for a good summer and we can all enjoy our garden and the hard work we all on GOY have put into what we have...cheers

2 May, 2009

It Looks Fabulous Sanbaz, Its so exciting isn't it, when hub built our first Deck I wanted to sleep on it Too :) Hope Baz's Back is better today, What would we do without them EH...

3 May, 2009

3 May, 2009

 

Hahahaha, Yeah your Bad :)))

3 May, 2009

 

Looks great San know how Baz feels with his bad back i had 1 all week with the new pond going in.

3 May, 2009

 

yes its no joke clarice, been rubbing cream into his back but no change and he`s quite stuburn and wont take any painkillers, so just plenty of rest, but the deck is great and he is pleased with his work

3 May, 2009

 

Deck looks great, well done Baz, and all your pretty pots really brighten it up. Looking forward to seeing your garden develop, so lucky you have Baz helping with the hard work, though I'm sure he is lucky to have you aswell - it all kind of evens out with them doing their bits then we come along and make it all look really lovely and run them a bath!

3 May, 2009

 

thanx puddles, yes he is so good even though he doesnt do gardening he does enjoy doing things like the deck, but he is suffering with his back today,so ive made a fuss of him, fetching and carrying,, but we love our garden now it has developed more

3 May, 2009

 

I do hope he's better soon

3 May, 2009

 

thanx dawn,, im sure with a couple of days rest he will be good again :o)

3 May, 2009

 

thanx avis,its suprising how you can change an area just in an afternoon, i just have to sort out around the tree with all the dead grass and get some plants in there to make the surounding area look pretty,,

6 May, 2009

 

Sorry to be late! No, hubby not into DIY, well, only if I nag him but I'm not a nagger! Lol!! I'm just grateful he is with us! Lol!!

6 May, 2009

 

thats lovely craft... and i know what you mean, wouldnt want to be without my hubby either,,

7 May, 2009

 

Hehe! It's too easy to get caught up in the rat race and forget what's really important. I didn't mean that he's been ill with cancer or anything! He has a really hard time at work and is constantly worried about his job. Sooo hard for men these days I feel.

7 May, 2009

 

yes it is craft, not knowing if the place you work is going to go under, so many loosing jobs these days thanx to mr brown and his clowns lol

7 May, 2009

 

Good job Bazzy boy!!

So glad our deck was already here, especially seein how it runs across the whole of the back of the house and is 2ft off the floor!!

Looks brill SB and as I'm reading your blogs, I can see the garden taking shape....
