Make a path

Addition to verandah going up



Starting out as a foggy morning, the day became progressively more beautiful with the sunshine and warmth. The photo below shows this - taken at my workplace. One can see the clouds though building up for predicted rain.


P.S. No rain happened! I had to water the garden well when I arrived home. A very cold night it was too.

No windows - then windows!


I'll have to make that front garden nice, because now, we'll be looking at it! Veggies?
Gingers? Lots of foliage, and a path? Table setting maybe? Like this...


Maybe in the future...







Outside wall coming down, framing going up - building continues...

Young bloke called Sean on the job today, with Dylan and Rick. Sean is cutting up timber for the frame. Gradually, the new outside perimeter for the house is appearing.






Building mess!

Lots of dust and mess in the yard! Oh well - easily cleaned up and fixed, eventually, and the grass will regrow.

Second foggy morning so far this year (Autumn, Winter).





I want to use the above bricks to make a path in the garden. Two blocks equals one stepping stone, as it were, like THIS.



This mess is from Ashley's unfinished business!


The next day (30 May), 7.30am, and 4 degrees C - I'm also tired of working late and up early with these guys arrival!
It's very dry - the grass is looking brown - we haven't had a good rain for ages. I watered long and well last night but I still think we need some good water from above.



I think the garden will recover ok after the assault. It all regrows. The weather makes a difference too - once it's warm again and cleaned up, things will look better. A bit of rain would help things along...but not till my reno is finished!

It gets worse as the days go on...this is from the 30th May...


Gumleaves in the concrete path

Following THIS post from yesterday, Rick the Foreman sprinkled the gum leaves on the wet concrete of the path, as I asked, similar to Churchie's path, which is so pleasant.

Some photos of my path:
