Ok last blog of the day, honest....

Now, the builders have finished the work, the space needed is ready for use. So without further ado some pictures for your perusal:


The inital plan was to build a freestanding Moonboard but I am mulling over the options as I write this, Maybe a kickboard to the bottom of the wall then a few board at 40 degrees reaching all the way to the house wall, (with permission from the landlord of course), I dunno. I will do my best to keep you posted.

Till, next time.

I haven't quite got the hang of this blogging business

I know, I know, the missus just told me, "You should really spread the blog over several days and as events happen". Yes love I know.

Ok then so, I moved the shed, the side of the garden collapses, now what do I do?

Well, to start with let's look at the new position of the shed:

 Hmm, very interesting......
No need to really look at this, it's just a space filler.













I measure up and score the earth around the collapsed dirt and start digging to clean and clear the area.

After about 2 hours of digging with a couple of coffee breaks included it looks like this:




And that is how it was left until late September 2011.

Well, the space is cleared and a supporting wall built YAY!!

It's been a while, and really I should have kept the blog going with small updates, but I haven't so there.

The moonboard project has been on hold due mainly to budgeting problems (no money), and waiting for builders to finish building a supporting wall. Which gratefully they have. Unfortunately though, the space for the boards is short by about 9cm, aaarghh!! Never mind, a bit of a re-think is needed before any construction starts.

Now then, I think it's only fair that I explain the series of events that led to a supporting wall being built.

When I moved the shed, something very unfortunate happened... as seen below:


 Urm, yeah, that's nice innit, move the shed and what happens?

The whole side of the garden collapses. Oops.
