from This to This in 18 months

How i Found it
decided to have a go at building a wishing well
thaught that went well so thaught id try n build a folly
Decided the well spoilt my view so took the roof off an the sleepers out of it and made a lilly pool
Made some railings out of scrap & got a small starter green house
made some borders bought loads of pots n ornaments eg bird baths

I THINK I CAN SAY Iv GOT THE BUG

OR Im HOOKED

 

Nice one Nick, just watch out that the council don't see it & get it listed.

Not a criticism but just a word of advice, when the pointing is green hard, cut it back with an oak stick & then brush it with a churn brush to expose the aggregate, you'll like the finish of that

 

It's looking good Nick. Just think what you could do in the grounds of an old mansion, you'd be in paradise.

 

I love both quirky and structure in a garden. I reckon that you have achieved both. Brilliant stuff.

 

You built the well?! Wow, I love it....even if it is no more. What creative garden ideas you have

 

I love a garden with character FM,and yours certainly has that.....WELL DONE

 

Wow!

 

Thank you all For your Lovely Kind Comments
