Chelsea 2009 Worksurfaces

Russel Stone Work Surfaces have done a great job, they have now refitted the granite tops and they look superb! Big thankyou to Tony.
Still got lots more to do, Stu of Terra Firma is up again tonight carrying on with more cladding to the units and the stud walls.
We are packing the garden up tomorrow (thursday) ready for delivery to Chelsea on Friday morning - praying for good weather.

Chelsea 2009 Cusions arrive for garden.......

Great news cusions arrived and took them up to the Proportion Warehouse to make sure they fitted ..............Bad news the back cusions didn't fit - they were too tall! Oh well they looked great and we do have time to amend them, so Chloe from HGDB (Harrow Green Design & Build) has taken them away again to be sorted.......thanks Chloe. Next time they will be perfect!

At last the pergola is up

Stu (of Terra Firma our landscape contractors) was up at the warehouse working late to push the garden a bit further on. He's still working on cladding the units, but he managed to send me a photo late last night of the pergola erected, finally in place! It looks impressive! We will need to cut it down a bit, currently too high, but easier to cut metal off than add it on..............apparently we will also need to trim a little of the length off our 1.8m chopping board, but want to check this out before doing the deed.

Work tops due to be delivered today (hopefully now to the correct length).

Only 3 weeks and 1 day to go.........the pressure is really building. We hope to have the garden pretty much pre-built by the end of this week, in a warehouse in Walthamstow. We've had a few hiccups along the way:

1) Pergola collection; van wasn't big enough to take the 4.2m span of metal! so had to send separate courrier
2) Granite work surface got cut to wrong size - its a long story won't bore you with it.
3) Holes on pergola not quite right size for the LED strip lights inside

.................anyhow, at the end of the day, all have been rectifiable so no real problems.

Got a lovely photo of the newly planted edible wall, will upload a picture.
