Sanding and levelling

We woke again to another gorgeous day, with sunshine and blue skies. Perfect for continuing our work in the garden.

The first job for Brian was to get the sand in place so that he could start laying the pavers. To begin, he put down a weed suppressing sheet, then he emptied the bags of sand we’d picked up from our friends onto it.

Meanwhile, Louise and I decided we’d have a change of pace, and headed up to the pool. Our aim was to strip the doors back, so that we could repair the putty on the windows and give them a new coat of paint. They are in need of it.

It was another steady job, scraping and sanding the paintwork ready to have the putty pushed into place.

Chris continued to work on the path he’d started that would lead up to the composter. It took a lot of work to level it, ready for the pavers. I plan to plant aromats along the side of the path, like rosemary, thyme, lavender and sage, so I’m quite excited.

We we’re all pleased with our results by the end of the day, things are certainly moving on quicker than we achieve with just the two of us.
