Garage

Following on from my building of the patio, work has now commenced on building my garage. I have five more courses of bricks to lay and then Im ready to get the roof on. I got the plans the other week from the council, and Im quite confident I can do it, however, others don't quite share my confidence in my building skills, but I'll show 'em!

The grass is coming up a treat now, and the garden/patio area just looks great. I have never been too good at maths, but see if you can get your head around this GCSE maths question - who said exams are getting easier?

"Mark is a tight wad and he wants to grass his lawn. Showing your working, which option should he go for to save the most money?"

Turf.....around £200

3 boxs of Grass Seed......£20

25 points"

I really cannot understand why people would turf their lawns. Ill post pics when I can be bothered to show that there is no difference in quality. I am a man with little or no patience, but for £180 Im willing to wait a week for my grass to show through :-)

we grew our lawn from grass seed. You need to be patient with this option but the results are a lot better.

We have even just done Robs nana's the same way.

we turfed ours.................bag of shit. i cut it a little short the first time, granted, but it has never recovered and it is nearly as bald as me!!!!!! so i am going out tomorrow to buy a big box of grass seed and am going to sprinkle it all over the lawn to hopefully have a proper lawn next year.

Surely nothing or no one is that bald?! Don't forget to prepare the area to grass properly though...

Mine is coming up quite nicely now.

I've found a cure for baldness, by the way, ill share it in a post with you sometime soon, when my bald patch has gone :-)
