What did you do over the weekend?

Hi everyone,

 

Every Monday I'm keen to hear what you got up to over the weekend.

 

It might have been starting a new project, getting stuck into some gardening, hosting a cracking BBQ, catching a new movie, getting some exercise, catching up with friends and family, or just relaxing with a good book.

 

Please share in the discussion below.

Re: What did you do over the weekend?

Sorry friends, bugger all DIY for me this wknd besides being the designated driver for another beautiful trip down south :wink:

Spent time playing with the rays at Hamelin Bay, enjoying the culinary delights of our amazing south-west and had an absolute ball at a wedding before topping it off with night swims back home.

Back in business straight after work today and will keep chippin away at my feature fence ready for a party this wknd.

Looks amazing @ProjectPete, I love how the wood glows in the sunlight.

 

It's a pity your Pale Ale photo assistant took over the photo shoot, & posted the topless selfie though. :wink:

 

Have a great night tomorrow.

Spent a few hours working on the side of the house embedding sleepers into the ground and carting wheelbarrow loads of stones to fill between them. Still a long way to go!

Kicked back and enjoyed my pool area makeover (and the many compliments that have come with it :smile:

Also started to furnish it a little and picked up a cool new plant for the corner.

Did some overdue cleaning up and organising (including throwing out). Also spent a few more hours working on the side of the house, but still a long way to go.

I spent the wekend down south playing with sting rays, eagle rays and going to the most beautiful beaches and eating amazing food and drinking awesome beers, wine and whisky.

 

Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn after 12hrs of driving and nearly 1000kms, I cleaned up my beast and got to work on the kid's cubby in time for Xmas. Will keep hacking away at it during the week to make sure I don't miss my deadline. Will share pics this wknd once I've made some decent progress - will hopefully be at painting stage by then.

We spent most of the weekend socialising, but did manage to get some work on the garden done.

 

The sideway is starting to take shape. I'll add a progress shot below.

Finally finished wheelbarrowing the five cubic metres of river pebbles we bought. 

 

We used them under the deck, to tidy up the far side of the house that we don't use much, between our driveway and next door, as well as the major project which was the sideway that we do use often.

 

Here's what the main sideway now looks like with the embedded railway sleepers and a bit of planting:

On the right hand side where the grey gravel currently is we are going to embed some curved steel garden edging with decorative rust, then have a garden bed with soil and plant it up.  

 

Here's what the strip between our neighbour's driveway now looks like - nothing too exciting but a big improvement over the weed-infested strip that was there before. The pebbles help the agapanthus stand out and are pretty tidy/low maintenance.

We did some weeding and had a bit of a garden tidy up on the weekend.
