We decided to go with nice wide floorboards - to tie in with the scale of the verandah and it also seemed to be the most efficient option. The floorboards on the northern side are now done and it has already become a great place to sit.

All northern floorboards done
I bought a couple of new Adirondack chairs the other day. I think they will be perfect out on the verandah :)
Meanwhile the western (front) verandah floorboards have started. It's a big job - almost 14 metres along the front!

You can also see here where the new front steps will be built in the middle of the front verandah. They will end up leading to a new solid timber front door, and the existing windows along the front will be replaced with solid timber french doors, an old large timber double-hung window and a set of three timber windows.
New hedging
I have also planted a new hedge of 90 Buxus 'Faulkner' (a type of box hedge - the same as what was planted along the front fence).
Spring!
... And Spring is here with the roses in full bloom again.
... And a new pot of Petunias.
