GUYS! White stones or grey slate for the firepit area? Vote here 👇🏽
I love the idea of the white stones but how will the maintenance look. The grey slates would also be very pretty. See I can't decide! Lol. I just had a poll up on my channel to help me decide on a pavers with pea gravel or framed in pea gravel firepit area. I'm ready to do eeny meeny miny moe. 😂
I think grey slate, white stones are nice but might be a nightmare keeping clean if your using the area on a regular basis 💜
White get dirty looking quick…trust me.
Grey! Less maintenance and the white could quickly get hazy from the ash.
White stone for the contrast
You need sub-base for the compactor to work properly. Will need to dig some of the mud out, lay some sub-base down, compact it and then you'll have a better base to work with. Makes a more solid base so you're less likely to get wonky paving and movement over time
Thank you! Makes sense now … will definitely be doing that in future projects. 🙌🏽
Alright, alright, alright! I've been waiting to see the Garden and a new vlog in general. Thanks, love your channel🙋🏽♀️
More to come!
Normally you would dig out and lay down a sub base like road stone which you would then compact down. That creates the solid base to lay the patio. If you just lay on sand it will eventually start to sink and the slabs will go wonky. Fair play to you for doing it yourself. I’m not sure I would be able to do it but this type of work costs a fortune now so well worth doing. The other thing to keep in mind is drainage. My house didn’t have the drainage laid out correctly so I installed new drainage and profiles the patio so that the water would run into the new drains.
Yes great tips for long term patio. This is temporary so keeping costs very low and making it easier to pull up in a couple years
@@ShadeShannon makes sense. The old patio we had was laid like yours and was probably down 30 years! The new one will probably outlast the house itself. 😂
Hello Shade the garden is going to be amazing, I think the white stones will be great, but any one that you choose you will make it look awesome.🙏🏾🥰💖💯💫
Can't wait! Thanks lovely 🥰
Getting to watch new videos from you is everything, quite a wholesome way to end the week 😊😊😊😊
Awww 🥹 So glad you like them! Can't wait to do the finishing touches!
Thrilled to see your new upload 😊
Hope you enjoyed it!
I like white or buff coloured stones Shade, your garden is huge so lots of potential there. Im looking forward to seeing the transformation. Gardens never actually get finished as there's always something to do xx
I’m learning that now! Feels never ending 🤣🤣 I think I agree the white could be a vibe xx
Hey girl hey! Sorry I'm late to the party! Am loving seeing how the garden is transforming
Yay! Glad you’re enjoying 🥰🥰
You both have done a great job also dad cannot wait to see finished results. Great vlog . You looked lovely for your outing with your mates 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thanks so much! 😊 Can’t wait to show you the final look hopefully we get it finished soon but it’s very tough work I will not underplay it xx
Hanging baskets often need to be watered twice / day in the heat of summer first thing so they have enough water to cope in the heat and in the evening , after the sun has gone off them and they have had a chance to cool down, so they can recover overnight.
They were doing so well and those few days of extreme heat we had I think were too much 🥺 I’m dead heading them and will continue watering daily hopefully I can bring them back to life 🤞🏽
Yayyyy💃🏾 such a lovely way to end the week, l was just holding my phone and got a notification that you have uploaded a new video 😊😊😊😊
Yay! You're the best 😊
Liking before viewing because it always surpasses my expectations 😊
Aww you’re so sweet thank you love!
Hoping it’s camera angle / optical illusion but it looks like the patio will be sloping down to the house?
We’re making sure to slope away don’t worry! 😁
Hi shade!! Can't wait to see the end result.
Me too!! Its a long road but we’re almost there xx
29 degrees! I bet you are really missing the weather up here in Newcastle now, where 'gentle breeze' on my weather app nearly always means 'howling gale'. 😅😅 Seriously, you're doing a brilliant job between you and it will definitely pay off in the end.
I am! I’ve moaned that it’s too cold for weeks and then now I’m moaning it’s too hot 😆 Thanks so much so looking forward to finishing it but it is backbreaking work 😩
😂😂😂 who needs gym membership when you’ve got a rotavator!
I suspect that was a new bee colony looking for somewhere to locate their queen (rather than wasps - bit early in the year for wasps yet)
it was so scary! 😂 I'm thinking of ringing a bee collector to have a look as i don't want to disturb them when i need to clear out those trees ..
It looks as if the space should have been spreaded out a little wider. Do you want to cook and have a fire pit so close to the house and trees? 😊
I hear your point, good thinking. I'm hoping that it won't be an issue as I'll only have the fire pit on when the doors/windows are closed in the evenings. BBQ will realistically be on the other side of the garden away from the house as there won't be enough room for it all on this bit of new patio 😂 xx
❤❤❤

Those crocs have got steel toe caps, right? 😬
🙊😂
@@ShadeShannon you still have all your toes so it’s all fine. Other half doesn’t even let me mow the lawn without steel toe caps! 😂
