The latest work has been on behalf of Butterflys day Nursery in Selby.
Their outdoor play area was covered in rubber shredded chippings and was ready for changing
So out with old and in with the new, a play area approx 200m2 was cleared and a new surface of softwood play chippings put down .
30m3 or about 7 tonnes, hundreds of barrowloads. Who needs a gym! The injured hand is sore now but well worth the effort and hopefully the little ones will love it.

It’s been cold , I’ve got soaked but it’s always nice to see happy customers.

The last couple of weeks have been challenging but enjoyable and the weather behaved most of the time.
Two jobs for very lovely regular customers.
First one in Ackworth removing a block paving patio and path and replacing with light grey porcelain and anthracite coloured border. Thank you Di for looking after me.
2nd job being in Arksey near Doncaster
Where I put in a stepping stone path almost 20 metres long, using Raj Green Indian sandstone pavers and Cotswold cream decorative stone.
Thank you Lucy and Zara, always a pleasure.
Thank you to Lucas for your assistance.

This is ‘The Yard’
My gorgeous wife’s new business venture, a large industrial unit which we have transformed into a really great place for dance etc.
In between my own work commitments I’ve helped by removing an internal dividing wall, counters, cupboards and sink units.
Laid the flooring and put in skirting , made a changing cubicle within the communal changing room and put up the acoustic wall panels and 9 huge mirrors
It’s looking great
Good luck Ruth.
