Preparations for the garage in the garden.
Master and I haven’t done much in our D/s lifestyle for a while. You know what it’s like, your “normal” life gets in the way, my health left me unable to do anything since early December, Master has been sick with man-flu so hasn’t wanted to do much, but he’s had too, I’ve had too. Master had taken 3 days off work to get stuff done. We needed to clear out the garden area ready for the new garage. Now the pond has been moved, the fish and hopefully frogs are settled in their bigger pond and their new position in the garden.
But we still had tons to do, move the rocks for the pond, lift the stone circle and place it roughly where I wanted it to go, empty both sheds, move my small shed and break up the big shed. Then take it all to the tip.
But to be honest by the time we did this, I couldn’t do anymore, my back was way past killing me, walking became difficult, so I stopped for the rest of the day. Master was also close to stopping too, so he suggested we advertise someone to take the rubbish, knock the shed down then take it all to the tip. He said if it cost £60 he would prefer to pay. So I put the advert in Facebook, and soon after some silly replies we found someone who was willing to do it that day for £80. Master was happy to pay it and one hour later everything was gone. It looked strange not to have the shed there, the garden looked bigger.
But we haven’t finished with the jobs yet, Master has to put the pump, water filter and pipes into the pond and this time we want to do it carefully. The filter must be completely flat so no water leaks, put in a position easy to get to, but not really seen. He and E will need to dig up my black bamboo and I will put that in a pot for now, dig up another 2 plants I don’t want anymore, then I think that’s all they could do. Master intends to hire a man with a small digger to dig down about 6” before we can put a layer of rock down, then we can hire a cement mixer to put the layer of cement down. Once that’s dry we can then order the garage.
I think it’s a put together yourself garage, so everyone will have to come and help us. But now the shed is gone it does feel that bit nearer to completing this job. The garden looks awful at the moment, the only thing I hate when doing big jobs, is the mess it makes, during the time doing it.
But I’ve really enjoyed working with Master, yes I overdid it, lifting smaller flagstones from the stone circle, rolling the big rocks away from the old pond. Bending to cut away the plants that were there, pulling it away from the fence. All stuff I know I shouldn’t do, and I know I will pay the price over the next week when my back really hurts again but sometimes you just have to get these things done, and I love doing jobs with Master. Also if I have to have a week of sick leave again, at least I know there’s a reason behind it, it kinda makes me accept the pain better then. Because I’ve actually helped with a job for once. It’s made me feel more like a person again, more like I’ve been needed today, and I’ve actually managed to help. It really has been a great day.
