Finishing touches and another little issue!

Of course, we can never seem to just have one task to get done without another, usually totally unrelated, rearing its ugly head 😏

Whilst he was taking a coffee break, George happened to look up at our roof and noticed that the leading around this chimney was coming adrift *sigh*  So that was another little job that none of us had previously noticed that needed doing.  He got the lead all fixed back where it was supposed to be and touched up the base of the chimney stack.  Hopefully it won't take too long for the new paint to "weather" and look more like the old layer!

A job that we did know needed to be done was repairing the coping on the front wall, as it was cracked in a number of places.  It all looks nice and tidy again now. 

The final task connected with the rebuild was going from the photo above...

... to this!  Obviously we didn't want any plants or weeds growing along our freshly rebuilt wall, and rather than slapping some stone chipping in there we decided to extend the paved area instead.  We were unable to find slabs to match the existing flagstones, so decided the best option would be to go for something contrasting.  It's made a rather nice edging to the original paving and finished the whole area off very well indeed.  Now we've got to set-to and sort out the bloody garden 😳
