    You certainly have "the eye" and "the hand" @jowwy , creating something so pleasing, functional and harmonious. :dbgrtmb: The dark stain on the wood looks very good, it sort of gives depth and form to the garden. I'll pinch that idea if you don't mind :)

    How many times have you fallen off the change of level in the lawn so far? My friend has a similar step that looks great and keeps their first aid box well refreshed when their mates come over for drinks :heehee:

      You have done an amazing job, you should be proud of yourself! Wish I had half the talents you had.

      Did you have any more new updates ?

      At the moment im building a 4mtr x 8mtr veranda over the decking. I started doing it solo, but after putting up 3 of the 11 roof panels, i realised i needed help. So on the weekend i will finish the first section of 4mtrs x 4mtrs….and then order the panels for the next section and take a few days off doing anything while i wait for them to arrive 418AC13E-17A5-40A0-AB18-3EE62B8F9262.jpeg

          That is looking super @jowwy - an immaculate bit of work - it'll be nice when you get the chance to sit down and enjoy it!
