    Eyup guys,

    Hope everyone is doing well.. new to the forum but really looking forward to sharing content with you all.

    So I'm currently working on project garden... yes I know I should have started this in the summer but I wanted to enjoy the sun right?

    The plan is to have this completed by Jan/ Feb including paving and then I can start to focus on the top half of the garden laying Indian sandstone etc... but that's the easy part.

    You can follow my journey on @newbuilddiy on instagram and starting to share updates on a YouTube channel so head over and give a fellow DIY'er a sub. Ive tried to upload some pictures here and will one converted.

    I've completed this in stages so here goes:

    -Double boarding the Fence for privacy
    -Digging the slope out of the garden
    -Putting a membrane down
    -Putting MOT Sub base down
    -Starting the construction of the sleeper wall
    -Temporary fence posts for the wall to attach to (see further updates below)
    -Drainage behind the back of the wall and sleepers protected by a membrane, with additional strength supports put all the way along the wall.
    -gravel backfilled behind the wall.


    Upcoming video updates:

    -Complete the Drainage into an eco running along the fenceline
    -Put sleepers standing upright in front of the wall along to provide a second layer of strength
    -Sleeper topper on the sides and main wall to provide that finished look
    -Backfill behind the wall with some topsoil to level the garden
    - will run 2 armoured cables 1x 1.5 and 1x2.5 for lighting and sockets at the bottom section.
    -fit sleeper lights and garden lighting.

    Then I am in a position to start laying the paving down the bottom with a fall running away from the wall.


    Appreciate everyone's comments and feedback.

    Jon
