After a full year of constant tweaking by The Duchess she is FINALLY satisfied her that her Garden Room is complete and we can actually relax and just use it!
Through 2025 we :
- put up a wind shade (then swiftly took it back down, reinforced it with duct table and put it back up again)
- purchased several batches of pebbles to fill in the gaps between the decking and the retaining walls, then collected them up again, applied “rock glue” — which apparently is a thing — and put them back down again so they stick together
- put up a bunch of Temu stuff – shelving unit, several wall-mounted planters, tool organizer and bird repelling hangy-things
- jetwashed the deck half a dozen times to clear out bird poo
- restained the outside of the pergola
- hacked away at most of the greenery outside the pergola that kept wanting to come in
Now we have to wait for the odd day when it’s not blowing a gale and can sit outside and enjoy it…
And the most impressive piece … the Temu Trevi Fountain! We may have to open it to the public and let the passersby come and enjoy the spectacle.
