Decking
	I've always liked decking, it's more natural and in tune with an English garden rather than hard slabs of concrete. This project is expected to take up to two years, our target is one year but being perpetually broke it's the money that holds us back, not lack of enthusiasm or determination.
	June 18th: This corner of our small garden has always been a dumping ground for old bikes, hamster cages and well, anything really. The back garden is south facing and gets a fair bit of light and warmth, certainly worth developing.
	June 27th: Rubbish removed and things looked a little flatter. There was one problem, just under the surface was a pile of bricks and broken tiles, the bricks came from a garden wall that collapsed when we first moved in and the tiles came from the kitchen when re re-modelled a few years ago. So, time to dig up a make a deeper hole (or two)
	June 30th: First hole dug and broken tiles buried deep we start on the second hole for broken bricks and all the ivy that had grown wild over the trellising at the bottom of the garden. I decided to keep all the good bricks, not sure why but it turned out to be a good idea when the word 'decking' got mentioned, we were just going to grass the reclaimed land.
	July 8th: Time to sort out and clean up the bricks, were going to use them as brick piers for the decking frame to rest on. The deck itself is not going to be large as it's only a small garden and we want to retain grass.
