Up the Garden Path...part II.....

Well, today while dodging the rain, the sideway of the house also had its path done...trouble is, cos it rained last night and quite heavily at that, the ground underneath was soaked, so as the crushed brick was layed and compacted it had the effect of making the ground spongy...or more like you were walking across a sway bridge...the compacted brick was firm, it was the clay/ground underneath that wasn't...hopefully with the next four or five days of sunshine the ground will dry out and become firm.
The pile of crushed brick out the front is probably 2/3rds gone now.  After Adrian has moved out the plan is to dig out the current sandstone path from the Alfresco to the Spa and replace it with crushed brick.

As promised pics from both today and yesterday


Path to the dog shed


from the dog shed back towards the  house




this area will have the clothes line eventually installed


back yard looking towards the front of the house

from the front looking back towards the back of the house...just inside the gate you can see where the water is seeping up through the clay

One day i will get around to finishing painting the side fence...one day.

Must say....Tony has worked like a trojan to get the paths done...THANK YOU dear  :)
