RE: The build - PyreneesPlot - 12-03-2021
Today we took the 'forever' tiles including the two unique ones given to us as 'congratulations, you've bought a plot of land' down from the kitchen to replace them.
Just saying, plan carefully. Then plan a bit more

Mini rant & warning to any DIY enthusiasts/ house builders. Tool station is turning into a really unreliable company. Which is sad because they were good. Ordered a nail gun. Along with other things. Half of which they cancelled without explanation! We know why, it’s the same thing every time. hazardous item, can’t go on a boat ( which translates into can’t be a$ed to fill out the extra paperwork, so it can go on a boat!. To be far lot of companies do that not just tool station).Anyway a cheap and nasty little saw arrived! Worth 10% of the ordered nail gun. After a little chat with them that was sent back and a refund was supposed to be issued, as they’d run out of the nail gun. Why they take 3 days to refund money is ridiculous, when is just the reverse of us paying them and that’s done instantly! Bobs now having another little chat with them because after 3 days we still don’t have our money back!

So Happy for you both.
Look at all that lovely topsoil too.
RE: The build - PyreneesPlot - 23-03-2021
Woo hoo! So brilliantly exciting
Our day one was "good news, there's already a concrete pipe installed for the roadside ditch so we don't need to install one".
Half an hour later, "the digger's broken the pipe getting on to site".

RE: The build - Veggie - 25-03-2021
Love those round pebbles. Are they beach'river pebbles?
RE: The build - Small chilli - 25-03-2021
No it’s from the local quarry. It’s the cheapest stuff they do. It called “as dug” . There are some very pretty stones in amongst it. I’m finding it very difficult not to collect lots of them! I like stones
. Digger driver recommended it because it packs down well. We’ll have different stuff on top of that.
RE: The build - Veggie - 25-03-2021
I like stones too!! I hope the "different stuff" is as interesting.
