Wow...I am impressed...you do great work, my friend! It is beautiful already and you are just getting started. Good job! 

WOW - I would not know HOW to do that so well! I cannot wait to see your final photos when done. Great job and great calorie burn! 

Wow..... Fantastic. It's going to look great, and so nice you can see it from the kitchen window. We can see ours from the kitchen window too, i love to see the birds have a wash in it ... So cute 

I have just noticed your cats - they seem really interested in what's going on LOL 

Thanks Stef, HCB & Pam. @HCB - I had no idea until I tried yesterday that I knew how to do this either...but thanks to wonderful people on YouTube prepared to share their knowledge of how to do things I was able to learn from them :) 

Cats are so wonderful, aren't they? Ours just never cease to amaze me! 

lol Pam - I can't take any pictures without the cats being in them...they keep me good company...not much help though! 

Stef my cats are very much a part of my family - if you look through my photo albums they are pictured as much as the people :) 

Tracy, I am the same way with my "furbabies" and my grand "furbabies". lol I love my four legged children. They bring such joy to our lives!  

Are you taking down the old wall when this one is finished?  

I know what you mean....I am definitely on my way to being a crazy old cat lady :) 

Stef well spotted! I am actually going to have to build the old wall up, so to create a new bed between the new wall and the old wall that will be higher than the current flower bed (I can't have that bed any higher as it is up against the wooden fence between me and my neighbour). I have knocked down some of the old wall so the pond sits over it, so the pond will take away the straigtness of the join between new and old bed and half of the lip of it will be above ground...I hope this is all making sense!!! 

Makes perfect sense, Tracy, and it will look amazing!  

I am beyond impressed! Your body deserves a steak. 

wow we have been lookin for a decent builder for years 

Thanks Buffy. Lol K! 

Very impressive work my friend..shoulda had you do my brick wall for the grill..you did good..and I can't wait to see the finished product.. You will enjoy it as you did it yourself...WOW...hope you can walk in the morning...:O) 

oh Tracy i am so impressed way to go girl it looks absolutely fab you should be well proud of yourself i agree you deserved that steak lol 

oh my! it's just GORGEOUS. Very impressed!!!! 

Thanks Bren & Jo. It is so funny I told everyone at work what my plan was and when they saw the pictures they were gobsmacked (being men and all). One of them even said, "You know Tracy, I was prepared with my fake face and I was going to tell you it looked great, regardless, but you really did good!!" lol
