Drnick:
Eventually the weather improved enough for me to get in the garden and get rid of the final vestiges of mount Moreclay and get some sand down, Once the sand was down the job became a lot easier (or at the least bearable).

It was then time to get some Decking Down

(One of my cats, Pippin, looking at it all and going. "Well its nice to keep my claws sharpened, but where the hell am I meant to go toilet?"

Drnick:
This Brings us pretty much up to date, Its been the first May Bank Holiday this past weekend so time to complete this job. Not much time on my hands so I didn't get many images taken.

Yep, More joists installed for the dance floor, (I would imagine that there are well over 1000 hidden Screws in this entire job)
And finally I made it to the weird corner where I shall be building a shed, I built this part from the same materials as I used to do the balcony, I think the shed should be good to go)
Framing

Boarded

(The board which is sitting up needs recutting, I was too lazy to do tonight as needs a 45 and a 90 cutting into it)

Look down length of garden

Look Ma, I completed it. (Another of my cats (Flint) Is looking for the litter tray coz it must be here somewhere what with all the sawdust smells).

So just in Time to Celebrate 20Yrs of Marriage I can tick another task off my list.

I will update this thread again after the Late May holiday as during that weekend I hope to remove the existing walkway and put in stairs down to a platform and also get started on the building of an actual storage shed down the end of the garden. I'm truly hoping that it doesn't take 2 Years to complete :)

Drnick:
TLDR, Built wall, Built Shed, Built Fireescape/Walkway, Decked Garden, More to Come in future.

where are you putting fire pit?
Cutting a circle in the deck? :)

also it looks small until you have a pic of someone standing in the middle of it to give the whole thing scale.
Lot's of work.

Looks a lot nicer also.
I had dirt and whatever lawn could grow under the trees before I built my deck.
just so much better.

Drnick:
As for the Firepit, Yep, gonna cut a hole and pop it in. Just have to figure out where I'm going to have things. It's weird having so much room out there to put things, Wifes immediately, Oh we can have a gazebo here and a hot tub here and a corner seat over here and the bbq over there :) I think my wallets going to be taking a battering this summer.
