Thanks all. Mid December 2018 Ann, pre pandemic!! It has been long a slog with work supposed to have happened etc etc, then eventually we got used to seeing the lovely views out to the hills beyond and months went into years!! Now each night we see fantastic difference (weather permitting, this last week not), the stone is changing colour, can't wait to see the finished result. Then the side grass is going to be taken to ground level and that part of the wall rebuilt, same stone as back wall, it is very sandy and the wall is being forced, there is already a huge hole in the centre where stone has popped with the force, fingers crossed it all holds until they get to that part. The oil tank is going to be moved so we will have a huge area which we will mostly grass over (will be safe then to use the ride on mower, just now the push mower has to be used, the other reason for leveling the ground, as it is about a 6 feet incline, got to think about our old age, well when we get there that is) !! I will leave a border at the wall to plant trees and shrubs, so we can at some point have some privacy again from the main road, like now with the side being so high. The gateposts are going to be widened and the driveway widend and tarred. Well that is what is plamned, so hopefully it will all go to plan. I will update with photos during the work. After that is all paid for we will be living on bread and water!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Regards
Kathy and Dave
