Not car or garage or even shed-related but, still -
After building the "Uber Shed" and then the "Shed II" I was left with the last corner of the garden "untouched".
It'd been penciled in to be all-sorts but ended up being a raised seating area with a bench swing . . . With the addition of the sheds, the lack of structure in that corner looked wrong so I began thinking . . . . . . .
I wasn't happy with it being raised as I was conscious I was higher than the fence line when standing up (I have a hate of nosy people and didn't want to be seen as one myself)
So, what to do ?
The first job was to dig. Dig out, back to ground level while I decided . . . . the first lot of earth was transferred into projects in the front garden, making a dent on things but with the good weather starting to show I went at it last week and completely cleared and leveled the area.
As usual, there's alway more mud than you think, so I'm now left with this in the garden until I'm ready to get rid of it (I'll need some back, later).
The plan is to produce a round patio area, surrounded by raised beds to suit the rest of the garden. It'll feature a custom-build garden pagoda to provide some shelter and be designed primarily as a small area to sit with a (home made) beer or wine. It'll also be an ideal spot to house a BBQ in summer as the rest of the garden is gravel and BBQ-unfriendly.
Just something else to distract me from my cars.
All part of a bigger picture for the house and one of my immediate priorities.
