Garden work

[janedavitt]

Been busy, busy, extending the patio a bit. It started with us saying laughingly we wanted a tiki bar like the one we loved in Florida. Then we say tiny gazebos you can put over the BBQ. But to do that we needed to move the BBQ off the patio and onto more slabs. So we did that and now David is going to build a bar to put in front of it with two or three twirly stools.

We have worked on it for the last week, digging out turf, hauling bushels of gravel and sand, driving back to Lowes because the gazebo roof was missing. We have worked in blazing heat, torrential rain and near 100% humidity that combined the two (the weather this week is just...are no words.)

But here is what we have so far!

This looks a worthwhile end to all that hot, sticky work. Does Kitty approve? :-)

Thank you! They're puzzled but glad of a shady spot :-)

That's a lot of work, but so cool!

[janedavitt]

It was sooo hard but worth it for the extra space.

Looks great! That patio-laying thing is very hard work indeed. Good on you!

[janedavitt]

I wonder how many pounds/kilos we shifted from one spot to another!

Those shelves on the gazebo will be useful when you're grilling out there! Places to put things.

[janedavitt]

Very handy! Though there's a huge shelf on the BBQ that lifts up too.

that is fantastic!

Thank you! it provides a nice bit of shade and keeps the rain off when David barbecues in a shower.
