it's a good feeling when the clients are very impressed by my wife's and my work ethics, attention to detail and methodical way we completed the project. We both were suffering from a heavy cold the last 2 days but we stuck with it and got the job done. I had allowed 20 working days for completion and finished 3 days early by working longer days, as well as coming just under budget. The designer's remit stated minimal disruption to the clients and they were able to remain parking on there drive every night to charge their EV for all but 2 nights. Credit must go to my wife Audra for emptying the 12 bulk bags of gravel, by herself, onto the gravel grids as I laid them out. Apart from the main parking area the design included a porcelain path to the front door, a gravel area in front of the house for a bench, a paved area for the bins, metal edging to form planting beds and a small sleeper retaining wall in front of the garage at the roadside.
