Busy building
15 comments
Hi guys I havnt been on here for a while as I have been really busy of late.
I have a few months left in the RAF before I start out on my own in my new career of garden design and maintenance.
My web site is up and a few of you have already had a quick look at it for me to give me your opinion. (Thanks by the way).
I have registered with the tax man, I have attended various business link courses and I have one arranged with the inland revenue in about a week.
The last couple of weeks I have been on a bricklaying and plastering/ rendering course. This was so that I could either carry out small hard landscaping work myself or at least I now have an understanding with regards to footings/ brick work/ rendering etc.
I really enjoyed the course and below are a few pics of my wall and arch.
The last one is of a fire place. I got to build this as well since I got on so well with the wall and arch.
I am really looking forward to the new year with a new business.
Oh and the weekend if its not to wet as I have the last of my veggi beds to sort out.

Very impressive brick laying there. You have "done your homework" well, and you must be getting quite excited about your new career. All the very best of luck with it all; hope you get the time to update us on progress.........:-))

Don't run away from us, will you - we'd like to know how it's going. From the look of it, you've enjoyed learning the craft and 'got' the hang of it. :-))))

any photos of walls in gardens? one of my favourite places is the ruined nunnery on Iona which has ancient stones and flowers growing in and around them ~ a perfect combination i think ~ and perhaps very british????

That is a great arch. Good luck with your new career. You obviously have a good eye for detail.

From looking at your photos you`re obviously very good at picking up new skills and with work like that business should get quickly established. Good luck with your new enterprise, been wondering what had happened to you as you have`nt been on here lately.
