[House build thread] Andy’s house ( not from scratch )

The interior of the house while never truly done is in good order.

Time to establish works on the exterior.

I had various quotes for amazing amounts of money to do landscaping on the side garden.

Being from Yorkshire I thought I am not paying that! How hard can I be?

The answer is quite.

Larch sleepers were supposed to be 100*200*2400.

They were a mix of 90*200 and 100*200 and anywhere from 2460 to 2880mm.

The ends were not square cut either so I had to hand finish every end of the timbers.

The garden isn’t level so I had to factor in that.

However, 4.5tonnes of topsoil later I have a raised bed in place with some pleather trees due for delivery in a weeks time.

I also have a wooden arch ( not pictured yet! ) that I’ll put up.

I’ll update when the pleached trees are in.

The pictures make it looked like it should be condemned but it’s not that dark in person.
