The pile of wood is getting smaller 
We set more posts in concrete and continued building the benches. Laid the weedblock fabric and a layer of gravel and got the water piping finished.

Amen, Ross. Nothing like a cold damp overcast day, to have you wishing to be elsewhere.

Looking good - all that staging can't wait to see the plants to go in it 
I don't mind the weather, but wish had all the space

But it's all relative. Thanks Sue. We're working as quick as we can, we want to see it full with plants too!
