Paddy Galore! Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) looks like the makings of a bunker nothing else "planned" as i did all the odds and **** and more this year, but i might just get ahead of next years list early and do the decking.

I've just finished decorating and now making lattice fence panels - shortly to do some tidy up (boxing in etc) in the utilty room. I have some weather proofing outside to do - leadwork, but then its lying down time. Edited October 7, 2011 by Kes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aled Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Plan to give the garage a good tidy up, and put a set of shelves up, looks like a tip at the moment, with mine, my wifes, and my childrens outdoor kit (from Bicycles, to wellies, to fishing gear) all over the place. Good luck to the rest of you. Tight Lines Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Clear out part of the front garden as a vegetable plot, lay paths for access and put a low fence around it. We've had runner beans there 2 years running and want to grow more. The gardens are mainly open-plan, and we live near a popular dog-walking area. We do get dogs wandering all over it from time to time, hence the need to fence it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure yet mate, but I want a fair few birds, about the same you I think, I was thinking of a small shed, and put it on stilts. Mrs Kyska is worried that it'll end up like something that Homer built, which is highly likely with my past record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Nothing major to do now, as whole house is done now barring the drive which I'm not doing myself. I'm planning building a raised vegetable bed using sleepers in the garden, and pottering around doing odds and ****. Nothing major planned at all.
