The 'hardstanding' which I used to turn the car in had, due to its clay base turned into a softstanding car trap (204bhp doesn't go well with clay & gravel!). So I decided to have the whole drive, walls, flower bed, ripped out & dug up, and will be replaced with a much smaller flower bed & wall, the drive & hardstanding with gravel in an interlocked rigid grid and better drainage etc. underneath ..... all of which will leave me considerably poorer! It rained last night.

Today I learned a new word:

I will try to use it three times in casual conversation tomorrow!

Projects like that are never very gratifying. Besides being expensive it's frequently just to maintain something a home owner didn't want to mess with in the first place.
