When we got home we nearly fell over....the concreters were back and were doing our naturestrip....yes! two months after doing the driveway they returned...as you can tell we had no idea they were coming, even if they had let us know we wouldn't have been holding our breath waiting for them.
Well!!!.....the third garden bed caused all sorts of headaches for us....literally.
While putting in the starpickett to hold the sleepers in place, we have managed to pierce the gas main...yep...fair and square in the middle of the bloody pipe...ggggrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
It took two hours for someone to come and repair it after we rang them to report it, I was so worried about the dogs and cats, especially Mia who has 3 weeks to go before she has her puppies. Thankfully the courtyard area wasn't affected.
So, what should have taken a few hours ended up taking all day but at least it is all done now, I am going to go out later and plant our roses and lavanders.
All that will leave is the path and grassed area, definately a job for after xmas.
the offending gas pipe, don't you just love the depth it is?
