Got the grafters here today, having built giant raised beds myself at the weekend (yep, did an incredible job, thanks for asking). Anyway, when it's done I am FO SHO getting some Phillips Hue spotlights installed so I can have sexy mood lighting of an evening. Gonna get a patio heater too. Then sit in the house and watch the telly. Had our garden levelled last year. Was a shit hole beforehand. Cost us a fortune and we are moving to a new fucking house next week!

Took out roughly 100tonne of earth over the 2 weeks. I'd had plans of doing it with a spade and wheelbarrow originally (Theres now a trampoline covering the random hole in the turf) Edited April 28, 2021 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the clip of the lawn, that shit is coming up and being replaced with paving and gravel as we speak. Not sure I'd get rid of the lawn like. Especially with a dog? You can get robot lawn mowers now too although I hear they are as shit as Roombas. J69's conversion looks class. Well worth it, if you're planning to live there a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soil is all clay so it just gets completely waterlogged, so the lawn is terrible quality. The dog is just gonna have to learn to shit on sandstone or gravel.

Gemmill 44951 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'm ignoring the Roomba comment. Outrageous. We're getting hard floors throughout downstairs as well (another dog influenced decision) so Roomba might be coming out of retirement. I've got one of the older models but a mate has one that connects to your Internet, and he uses the IFTTT app (worth a look) so that Roomba cleans up whenever he leaves the house.

I got a robot vacuum cleaner last week, the jury is still out on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going have to get a third party to do it but tbh rather that than a sky engineer and a shite effort Get it all cat 6 and fibred up if you can - maybe hdmi as well.

Gemmill 44951 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 My bank holiday weekend has just been saved by the heroic soil delivery bloke who has just craned 4 ton of soil directly over the fence and into the raised beds. I was staring down the barrel of 200+ wheelbarrow trips from the front street. @The Fishstrong recommend for identifying a cool as fuck delivery driver when you do yours.

Live in a middle Victorian terrace, so we'd need to crane it over the neighbour's garden as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44951 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Special shout out to my CUNT of a neighbour who repeatedly ignored the knocks on her door to ask if she could move her car, and when she eventually answered the door was full of arsiness: "I'm going out in it soon, I'll move it then!" and made the delivery driver wait another 20 minutes. I knew she was an ignorant cunt, but it's always nice when someone absolutely confirms it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10861 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 You must live on the other side of my neighbour. When we having work done on the bathroom a delivery tuck was parked across our drives. Within 10 minutes I got a text and a call asking how long they'd be, as she can't get her car out. When I asked the lads to move the truck back a bit they said she'd already had a go at them and they were in the middle of getting the bath out the back so they'd have to finish that first. 3 minutes it took them. She didn't take her car out. At all. The whole day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
