More slow progress, but we’re getting closer to the finished product. And as long as it’s finished by next summer so we can make the most of it then! The normal two crew have been hard out working this week to try and complete the BBQ area.

I think the paving was probably the easiest part of this stage for them. Although it took a lot of measuring and checking levels before fixing them in permanently it can’t as been nowhere near as frustrating as digging the holes for the fence and pergola.

They had a new bloke start with them this week and I did feel sorry for him because he got the job of hole digging. In our very stony soil. To make matters worse he was newly off the boat from Scotland, so was not used to the the 28-32 degree heat he was working in during his two days of digging.

But we are almost there – just finishing off of the pointing of pavers to go, the remaining bits on top of the pergola to finish off, and then the fence to close it in on two sides. Then we will just need to seal the pavers and we are finished!

In other “work around the house” news, they have also managed to outline the house path at the front door – a huge improvement on the non-outlined, weedy path we had there previously.
