Six sash windows repainted inside and out, plus some timber soffits.  

A client in a cottage in Chichester very sensibly keeps her tumble drier in the garden.  She wanted a 'bespoke shed' for it with a living roof.  A really fun project - and to save costs I used some recycled treated timbers around the back.  Now waiting for planting - and some washing.  

A client in Bishops Waltham wanted her patio extending - and here it is.  Fairly straight-forward job here to excavate turf and topsoil, lay and compact w 100mm Type 1 MOT, then finish with 25mm proprietary slab concrete mixed on site and Marshalls Pendle Buff 450x450mm slabs to match existing.  Existing slabs here were butted (no grouting between).  Needs a month or two to weather and grass to grow back but then ready for breakfast al fresco!  

Another project for clients in Meonstoke to build 2 new potager beds in a compact sloping area of their cottage garden next to the Bucks Head pub.  Also built up an existing fruit and herb bed area to match, and laid paths with Terram and bark.  Filled beds with 4-year rotted horse/alpaca manure, and 250mm compacted depth Rolawn fruit and veg topsoil.     

Returned to Mr Hoare in Droxford to line car port rafters in 9mm hardwood ply, plus good quality loft ladder for storage access.  All painted in Zinsser All Coat white exterior emulsion to match adjoining properties.

The second of my February kitchen redecoration projects: this one for Mr and Mrs Nicholl at Barton House in Meonstoke.  This colour really drew the light into the room - and being Little Green paints were very easy to work with.  Thank you Nigel and Alexa and great to see the room with all your things back in place!

After a 3-week February job was postponed (builders, eh!) I managed to fit in two kitchen/dining/utility room redecoration jobs in Meonstoke.  The first of these, for Annabel and Anthony Armstrong, included repainting kitchen cupboards (handmade by Anthony), and stripping back and refinishing solid wood worktops with Osmo oil.  In the middle of it all - as it was a sunny day - Annabel asked me to repaint the triple garage.  All looking very smart now.  I'll be back in May to paint some windows.  Thank you Annabel and family - and Simba the lab for company and leaving your mark!
