Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.
My most ambitious DIY project has to be my garden structure. I knew nothing about woodwork, joints, suitable materials etc. but hey ho… I enjoy a challenge. 🤪
Initially, I just wanted a cover for my inflatable hot tub. I built a wooden frame. I placed a canvas roof on top, which I already had from an old metal gazebo I once had. Great…but then I decided to lay decking for my hot tub to sit on.
Perfect…it looked pretty and done the job. Until the canvas roof collapsed in high winds. Hence, I decided to construct a roof. Yes, I could have put a sloping roof on, but no, I wanted an apex roof.
Spending many hours researching different roof types, angles, shapes, materials, and so forth. I painstakingly constructed my little garden sanctuary. ‘Sara’s Schloss’
My perfect garden retreat…’Sara’s Schloss’
Hmm….what will my next DIY project be? 🤔
Happy Hump Day!

Finished book 3 of my vampire book!! Hubby just got back from work retreat in TX – so it was just me and girls here – so I cranked out the last couple chapters. I submitted the first book but so far 2 polite No’s – so no change on that front 😆

Wow… that’s great. You were on a roll then – whilst hubby away! It must be hard getting the polite No’s. But that seems to be the way it is with the creative subjects. 🤔

What great job you made. The pitch on the roof gives a sense of space.
Hot Tub, Cardiff sun, G&T – what more can you ask for?

I know…not sure about the Cardiff sun, but hot-tub and G&T’s is a definite!
