Until the next crisis comes along, at any rate 😏
I left you on Friday with the rebuilding almost complete, with virtually all that was left to do was put back those lovely old coping stones.
As I said, because of not having all of the old stones available to reuse, the new wall is lower than it was previously...
...as you can see from the much smaller and lower shaped section where the two walls meet.
We will be adding some planters along here in due course to stop folk toppling over into the shared driveway on the other side 😳
We will do likewise along the wooden retaining wall, to provide a visual barrier, as there is another drop there ~ ah, the joys of living on a hill with a garden sloping in two directions 😏
Of course, now that this length has been rebuilt, the garden side of the other section is looking even more scraggy than it was before! At some point we will get George back in to re-do the mortar along there to tidy it up.
The new pillar really helps to marry the two sections of wall together...
...and distract from the straight and not-so-straight lines 😄
George then re-did the mortar on the rest of the wall...
...which made it look so much better! I'm really happy that the dratted crocosmia is no more. We filled in the gap with more stone chippings which has widened this end of the drive a little. It all looks so much tidier now and we (and our neighbour!) are extremely pleased with the end result ~ thank you for all your hard work, George 😊
