This was due to be the recycle project of the year. With bricks, sand, cement and cement mixer all left behind by the previous owners, we were actually going to do a project without a trip to the hardware store.
But it wasn't to be.
Unfortunately the cement had gone off, so the hardware store couldn't be avoided but never mind, there's a nice new plant in the garden.☺
The main project was cistern repair part 3 - to lay some bricks to build the structure of the filter. Apparently it will also act as a self filling pustie waterer. So I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
And of course, mix up cement and there's always a bit left over, so a start was made fixing the top of the wall by the house.
Tiggy and I love this wall. It's a great way to get to and from the front door without touching the ground. But it had a very damaged top. It was left in a broken up mess by the previews owners. And then the phone guys came along and dug a channel though it for the fibre optic cable, so it really needed sorting out. The ultimate aim is to build it up and flatten it off. There wasn't enought mix to do that but a start was made and it already looks tidyier. And I signed it.

Looking better but still not flat.
Did you spot the two dogs? I don't know how, but they always manage to get in my photos somehow.
