with 4 grown up children we have developed a car parking problem….if more than three cars are parked we have to move one to get another out. then there are customers to the nurserys cars…so something had to be done.
we have (or should i say had…)a drive way and a patio next to each other.

the worst part of the plan is that this lovely griselina hedge had to go…

taking full advantage of all 3 of my men home on the same day..it dosent happen very often…i chopped the hedge and then they removed the roots and took the little wall down. notice Ruby keeping an eye on things

then comes the best part…i just love a big fire…

then the arch way had to be taken down. trouble around here is if my OH has built something it takes hell and all to bring it down. but they got the better of it in the end. helped by Blodwyn overseeing things.

its sad to see it all go but it just makes so much sense. and now when they are all home they can all park there.

we just need to finish clearing away the bonfire to get the last parking space, and its nice to have it all open when they are out..lol

nothing like a bit of team work..:-)

Hi Sandra ...
Well done to your team of workers A pity about the hedge going, but the extra space will be very useful for you.

Lol.. "SANDRA'S SPACE ~ KEEP CLEAR" ;o)

thats the idea...i want the one where my van is now...its the closest for unloading the shopping....:-)

I thought your vehicle was the little white one with black and yellow wheels ...

That was a huge job. It certainly needed a good team to get it all done so quickly. I think 'Sandra's Spot - park at your own peril!' might do nicely.

that belongs to my great niece Evie. i think she may need a reserved spot too....

28 Oct, 2012

 

Yes.. Evie must have a special spot for her car :o)

That was some job,Sandra..shame about the bushes,but it wil be so much easier for you and your family..so good you had your big strong men around..and Ruby and Blodwyn of course..every good team needs a team manager,..or two ! Lol.Great pics,I really enjoyed your blog :o)

28 Oct, 2012

 

thanks Sandra. already having disputes over who parks where....lol

28 Oct, 2012

 

You need to clamp them ,if they park at their own risk ! Lol.

28 Oct, 2012

 

Parking tickets that's the way forward :O) maybe try wheel clamps, ah but then they would never leave. lol. sorry. Now you have been busy, the kids worked well and you all did a good job there. :O)

28 Oct, 2012

 

maybe i could set up a pay and display to cover the cost of their food when they all home....:-}

28 Oct, 2012

 

now that is the way forward Sandra, pay and display sounds good to me. lol :O)

28 Oct, 2012

 

Good plan Sandra :o) but pitty about the hedge ...

Now you know that round mirror, well I've got one like that. It was in my mother's house, and I've hung it in my covered area by the back door :o)

Lovely bonfire !
