It's taken a little while, but we're getting around to having a front wall. We left the house like this last time.
The gates and the posts still there. We thought the posts might support a new set of gates.
We also thought that the gates (both the small one to the left of the below pic and the main 5 bar gate) were in line with the house's front wall.
Turns out neither thing was true. A morning with a chainsaw and a digger revealed the truth.
It all left the house a bit open at the front, so we had to sort out a new fence and gate quickly!
Today we're like this. Steve Colgate of Maidstone has been busy again.
Moving toward the front., That gap is where the garden gate is going to be. That is, where the gate that leads to the front door will be.
The gate will be 6 feet at its highest point, but arched, so the piers are about that high.
We wanted the wall not to be too elaborate, but not boring either, hence the dog teeth at the top. You might also be able to make out the vertical basketweave panels in the straight wall along the front of the house.
The front garden's going to need a bit of work! Does highlight how long the wall is though.
