Early in Spring I fixed beams around the future deck...

...then we put up the pergola to keep up with the vine that had been planted earlier

The supports for the deck were Larch joists

To support the vine I fixed cables and reed mats were rolled out for temporary shading

Finsihed deck and pergola

The pond was dug in autumn and shaped over winter, then was levelled and prepared ...

...for a butyl liner...

...then filled up with rainwater diverted from auvent roof

Geff and family came on holiday and helped with paving ...

Finished pool with plants, solar jet and fish to eat the mosquito larvae

A few photos of the house in spring.....
