The weather forcast for the day was scattered showers, a perfect day to powerwash the glasshouse, inside and out. Joe and Ali get wet before the rain arrives and when it does, its washes off all the dirt and grime the power washing has dislodged. After they finished, they move on to washing all the staging with Jeyes Fluid, cleaning all the dirt and any fungal disease that may have built up over the last twelve months.
Down at the bottom of the sports field, Ady, Graham and Josh spend the morning chipping, using the newly serviced chipper to clear the huge pile that has built up over the last three months. The rain arrived as the last few pieces of wood went through the machine, a downpour, soaking the three of them. Ali was happy though, it came at just the right time for her and the newly cleaned glasshouse.
Another overgrown garden has been tackled by the team over the last three days. Ady and Graham started the job on Monday, greeted by a tangled mess of weeds burying what, was once, a low maintenance garden landscaped by the team a few years ago. Clearing a path into the garden was the priority so the other team members could join them, as they cleared signs of a gravelled garden gradually emerged.
Cutting and chopping their way through, they amassed a huge pile of rubbish that had to be thrown over the garden wall at the back of the garden. The next photo is of our two intrepid explorers, Graham and Ady, who successfully made their way through the wilderness.
Once the area had been cleared the paving stones were cemented into place and a new top dressing of gravel added, buckets, trugs and dust bins used to transport the gravel over the wall. The garden furniture was then washed down and returned to the rediscovered patio area.
The final job, to complete the restoration, was for Joe and Simon to repair the boundary wall, seen in the earlier photo of our intrepid explorers.
