Slabs covered...

Well after a wonderful al fresco vegan taco lunch...

The soil from Frank arrived  (http://www.claretopsoil.com/). Beautiful crumb. Sandy not clay like a not a stone to be seen. Kinda wasted on growing grass!

Started well..

And had a hand moving the bag.. :)

Finished putting the soil down. Now where did all this concrete blocks go?  :)

Got caught out by Dealz grass seed it's all fertiliser pellets so hard to sieve out evenly!

But job done!

Finally completed the jigsaw puzzle..

Have contacted Frank (http://www.claretopsoil.com/) for a bag (80 euro delivered) of topsoil to regrass it. Hopefully he'll deliver tomorrow.

It has taken me ages to do!

Now to the allotment to plant me spuds!!!

Finally back to doing a bit..

After time off to enjoy the last few hot days in Shannon I got "back behind the mule" today :)

And finally got the last few blocks in :) Before:

After:

Tomorrow I will square the buried blocks up and add all the remaining scrappy bits. I'll then cover the area with earth and replant with grass. It's too much hard work to concrete the area and it doesn't give me an extra parking space anyway. Originally the plan was to take the wall down and use this area as a ramp for my boat.

So all things being equal I should have this job done in a couple of days then back to the allotment! :)

Continued burying slabs...

Made good progress between the heavy showers. Before..

And after..

Lovely rainbow..

And the slugs/snails are eating my crocuses that are coming up in the front garden!

Worked on gutter..

No blocks buried today. Instead angle grinded a channel ..

.. and started on a gutter.

May get a Blue Peter badge for this one!

But yard is looking better every day. Won't finish until next week now though. Paddy's Day tomorrow! :) :)

Buried more concrete blocks :)

Stayed dry and I continued to bury roof blocks..

Also tidied up the yard swapping  blocks to make a table stand..

Got biggest block buried and made first seat..

Well continued making pallets into furniture..

And burying cement roof pieces. Did biggest today!
