Who needs red bull….
Posted by Stephen Downey in General on July 20, 2004
Weather has been a bit crap so not getting much done in the garden. Hopefully with a bit of good weather at the weekend might get the rest of the grass up.
Getting to the gym a bit more as a consequence (good or bad, still not sure
)
Woke up today pretty tired but just full of energy, bit of a paradox but bottom line is I feel pretty good.
Think all the visit to the gym are working anyway. Went back to spinning last week but unfortunately it had a bad effect on my back again so am going to have to give it a miss for a while.
The Osteopath I am seeing is doing a great job though. The weak muscle at the bottom of my back is building up again so getting a lot more strength in it now.
Here’s what we are aiming for….

And the Fun Begins…..

So Started on the Garden at the weekend.
Here is what I am starting with
![]()
The reason I have to level off the ground is due to the path that used to run up the middle of the garden to the old shed.
It meant that the grass on either side was raised.
I am trying to draw the finished look onto this image so that I have an idea of where I am going but basically I am going to have three different height decking.
1. On the left going from the start of the existing decking out as far as the pillar where the light is hanging and about 10-12 feet to the left.
This decking is going to be laid at a 45 degrees to the side wall.
This will all be about 4-5 inches above the current decking.
2. Will be just in front of the shed going from left to right, the width of the shed coming back as far as the current decking. This will be fixed to the concrete that is there and stacks in driving into the garden.
3. The last bit of decking is going to be going perpendicular to this decking over the current decking from the wall on the right as far as the decking on the left.
Long Time no Blog

Hey World,
Well I finally remembered to get back here and write up another Blog.
So what is happening, I decide to paint my fingers green and do a bit of Gardening.
Going to try and level off the grass out the back. So first job is lifting all the grass that is there so I can spread out the topsoil underneath into a level way.
Think I will try to get a few pictures of it as I am going along so I will have a work in progress diary.
Joined the gym near me a couple of months ago and am loving it. It has some cool water slides as well but have not managed to get on them yet. Might give it a go some evening when it is quiet…
