Outside Jobs

With inside jobs on the house coming along nicely and real visual progress being made it was time to tackle one big job outside. Well we are not tackling it, the gardener is and rather him than me in this weather.

Yesterday he started the task of cutting out a section of hedge to make the driveway wider. Something that never needed doing when we had a mid sized car and a smaller car but now that we have two mid sized cars we were struggling for room to get them both on the driveway comfortably. 

With the hedge out of the way his job today is to extend the concrete slab to give the Hyundai plenty of room and mean we can open the doors of the cars without hitting each other. 

The hedge will look a bit bald on the end it has been chopped off but it will soon fill back in again. They are old mature hedges which are in good health so chopping a bit off will do it now harm. This time next year it will look good as new again.
