Big progress

Our builders have been here on and off for the past 3 weeks, putting up our walls, rendering them and laying our patio areas. I meant to update earlier than this with a work in progress report, but I forgot. I have taken lots of photos along the way though which I'll share with you now...

Step 1. Dig and Lay Foundations
Step 2: Build Walls





Step 3: Render Walls (I don't have a specific picture of this one...)
Step 4: Lay patios:





All that's left for the builders to do is to grout the patio areas.

Next, we'll be adding in the paths that run around the garden, sealing the patio stones and finish painting the shed. That should all come together fairly quickly.
Once that's done it's just the small matter of sorting out the fences, lighting, decking and planting. We may have a garden by September, with a bit of luck.
