After fitting the gates we demolished a garage and outbuildings.
The access is really tight and there was no way to get a grab wagon close enough, theres no place for skips due to limited parking so Howford Recycling Ltd came to the rescue and sent a telehandler and wagon to take all the waste away. They will be back again in a week or so time to get the rest of the soil once ive got it all dug out.
Theres a new garage with attached laundry room and storage area above.
I forgot to take after pics

Very large very heavy gates fitted at the start of this week, all materials supplied by Jackson timbers in hexham.
These gates add a bit of security to what was a dead area that is now being used for car and caravan storage

This weeks project was replacing planter borders with sleepers.
As you can see theres a lot of different angles and slopes on this driveway and at times it was a challenge to say the least but we got there.
Theres posts concreted in behind the sleeper and the sleepers bolted to them, everything thats not seen is coated in black jack bitumen paint so shouldn’t wont rot out for many years. After all it is timber outdoors in northumberland.
