That's brilliant. Some people would spend a small fortune for something like that and you got it free. Did you do it all in one day?

Aww, you are very creative Mark61, it is beautiful, I love wood, I hate to waste them too, but I am not good at building things. Well done you!

Right where do i start ,i have now finished this area and i have now dedicated it as a nice seating area to remember my belated mum and dad who sadly passed away between christmas and new year.I have put the last picture of the area on a new blog.

Thankyou all again .Mark,julie and jordan xx

I wish my hubby was creative and had access to a bargain like that, you are saving yourself a fortune, plus doing something you obviously enjoy...
A nice touch dedicating to mum and dad....

How about making a half-barrel pond ? There is a photo of one on here- cant remember whose it is - shame on me.
Anyway its a nice water feature. Will only need cleaning out once a month.
