As promised here are some paving progress photos. It took so long. We are still not completely finished but here is what unfolded 2 weekends ago. And a look back at what we started with here.
Last weekend we filled in the gaps, compacted, brushed paving sand into the gaps. As there were only two of us on the job I didn't take any photos. It's blowing a gale and raining at the moment - first test to see if we got the levels right, fingers crossed there's no puddles - but I'm not going out to take any photos now either!
Jobs still to do...
-sand and paint retaining wall
- put in small drain and permanent supports for edges of paving
- stain new bifold doors and give the front door some love
- paint front step
- replace plant that got squashed by 5 falling pavers - doh!
and in an ideal world, get rid of the bottle green fascia, drain pipes and window frames.
It's looking pretty good though, if I do say so myself! Can't wait to get some furniture out there and enjoy it!

You've come a long way - it's looking great! Sometimes you just need to look back at where you started to see how much you've done.
