So, started this project back in late summer last year.
It was supposed to be finished by christmas but various personal and family issues got in the way. Finaaalllllyy got it near enough finished today.
I'm glad to see it finished, but also kinda sad as I used to like escaping to the garden and getting wrapped up in it. Theres still some more to do like flower beds all around it to hide the scabby cement etc, but from the construction side its near enough there.

Ill have to build a conservatory next to keep me out of trouble haha
Just thought I'd share this weekends progress that was for once, not on the car

I've still yet to cut the arc to the sides of the steps.
The step risers are too shallow (old lady changed her mind last minute and i was not re-doing all the brickwork)
If you'd like to point out anything I've perhaps missed?

What's the thing in the middle? I don't geddit. Is it a BBQ? Or a wishing well? Or a really small pond? Or a tunnel to China?

Thats it mate. Didnt know you where cutting a arch in th steps and idealy all steps should be the same. I'd also be tempted to edge the steps as well like you've done at the top. Does look alright though.

Yeah, the steps were the same, then somebody changed their mind on a mowing strip and overall level. Bloody women.

Near the house? Near some decking? Near something... Not just plonked in the middle of nowhere

Sheezus a tough crowd tonight.
If you were standing in the garden and turned around 180 degrees another patio with a pergola is about 15ft behind you, up against the side of the garden. This is to be the main feature when looking out of the house, and a path will be added in due time.
Good job i spend 6 years landscaping lol

You have to or you can't afford to live! Can afford to be lazy on a Sunday up here at 2 quid a pint and with cheap housing. Don't have to pay a fiver to drive into Leeds city centre either
