Low maintenance garden terraces
Last week Maxwell and I returned to Bishops Waltham where we extended the patio we built a few years ago to now have sleeper terraces filled with Scottish pebbles running down to a lower terrace area surrounded by more pebbles - the ideal setting for our client's many pot plants. We installed a second water tap and hose at the lower level. Before:
Repainted Bosham village hall
This week I returned to Bosham Centre / Community Village Hall and Parish Council office to repair damaged render and repaint the exterior. Thank you Bosham for inviting me back after I repainted and repaired internally over the winter.
NEW SHED ROOF £350
A new shed roof typically costs £350 for labour plus materials. I use good quality felt (£50/10m), stick it down with specialist bitumen-like adhesive, tack along edges and - importantly - edge all sides as shown in the photo with new timbers. The edging is really important to enable a soft crease in the felt and to protect against the wind getting underneath the felt. And it looks good!
Kitchen / dining room repainted
Modern kitchen / dining area in new house painted with Farrow & Ball - Ammonite on the walls and Borrowed Light on the ceiling.
Emsworth handyman – bathroom extractor connected to new outlet in soffit
Connected a 4in ventilation hose to a new vent outlet in the soffits for this 1980s house in Emsworth. Sadly a previous tradesperson had left the damp bathroom air to circulate in the loft space which has now caused some damp and mildew problems.
A very grand entrance
Painted the front door, porch and internal hallway for this very grand house in Richmond.
