A little job from yesterday - installing a couple of upright parking bay signs at Ray Chapman Volvo, Bradford

Recently a customer asked if it would be possible to fill in the void under some newly fitted steel steps using an angled offcut of OSB board they already had😬! A few expletives later I think It turned out OK🤣🤣? Then added a baton fence painted black to match the black steel balustrade and hide the knackered old white washed rendered wall. Finished off by painting the pebble dash garage overlooking the garden white too and using the same batons to keep the theme and add a final boundary

Ex chicken run fenced off and then used as garden waste dumping ground for 20 years...out of site, out of mind😮😂

Old fencing removed, perimeter hedges trimmed and area completely cleared & rotovated to remove any remaining old root systems. Was supposed to be an extension of the garden, but currently being used Ian's shooting range 😉. Hopefully it's kept on top of & I don't get called back lol. Done for a friends parents with the added bonus of Jake Mcfarlin & Jake Cronshaw helping out.

More cups of tea than I can mention & thanks to Ian & Angie for the best bacon sarnies every day

Rotten, old & uneven raised decking - removed and replaced. Now safe for the kids and pets to come charging out of the patio doors without fear of falling through 😂👌

Total garden transformation on a new build in Bramhope. 4 raised manhole covers all set at different heights and orientation - now you wouldn't know they existed. All set with easy access in the artificial lawn and Indian stone patio
