Though I’m learning new DIY skills, I know when to hand over to the experts.

Yes, I didn’t do this LOL
We had a new front door fitted, just one guy. Very talented
Though I did paint the door step and the lower black wall to the left.
From the door fitter, this when I found out about the car app WAZE. Fully recommend it

Week 20 –July 13th 2020 – Week 17 of lockdown part 1
As I mentioned in a previous blog, I said watch the right hand corner and the garage, well here you go, my DIY skills were expanding and I think this was the first time that I used the term MJ Limited here to serve 🙂
The elephant found it new home and new companion too 🙂
Also turned this into a bird eating area, with a bird house and a walk way to make it easier for them to consume the food.
Though eagle eye people will also notice other changes, more to come. 🙂
What do you think?
Feel free to leave comments.

New plants and fence Is that really our garden? Lovely sky too. Are we really in England?
Is that really our garden? Thank you to Ziya for helping me take down the old fence and putting the new one up. Plus also thank you to my lovely wife for helping with the painting of the posts and wall.

Did I really let the garage get that bad? Bad me.
What a MESS!! Obviously I did, looking at this in the garden, also make a note of the right hand side and in front of the garage.
Yes it was that bad 🙁 
How much work to be done and runs to the rubbish dump? So who you going to call? COVID19 buster.
Who you going to call COVID19 buster!! What a difference, can actually use it again and find stuff, well I could before, but this is easier.
Now that’s much better. 🙂 New garden ornament, but where is it going to go?

Now my DIY was stepping up a level (yes for you experts), this may be nothing, but as I mentioned before, before 2020 my skills were 0.
So to change this small bedroom from this
to this was a big deal, all done in four days. I think I did a good job. What do you think?

Well though I know I’m good at something, like cutting down or smashing stuff up, now and again I do need help.
Thankfully my wife steps in often too help, great team work to get rid of this annoying willow over our drive.

Week 15 –June 8th 2020 – Week 12 of lockdown
Now as I have said earlier, I feel for any new plant that is purchased, as I know they will die at the hands of my lovely wife Claire.
But COVID19 seems to have had an impact on her, as these plants and all other plants that have been put out, have lived and died naturally, well done Claire!! xx

It’s annoying I don’t have a before picture, but I’ve learnt that 🙂

Week 14 –June 1st 2020 – Week 11 of lockdown
We’re not the greatest gardeners in the world, until this year I pity any new plant coming to our home, as It was like signing them to an early death sentence!
This year though, the lockdown has had amazing effect on Claire and looking after the plants in the garden, nothing has died!!!
This is the left hand side of the garden, which had been completely overhauled by MJ Limited.
Left hand side of the garden from the patio. The small dog marks a small burial ground.
