Earlier this year we were featured on ITV The Home Game - a show where people make a home improvement in order to increase the value of their home.

Please have a watch of our video and let us know what you think - is the outcome what you would expect?

Looks stunning, I would have thought it would of added more value than that though, Was surprised at the out come of the valuation.

MBH Carpentry, thank you and yes it normally adds the entire build cost value, except in this particular case we were up against it as our client already had many large outbuildings within the grounds of their property. In any event a good result seeing them pleased.

Weekly? Oh, how I wish it were only weekly. I'm out there nearly every day culling the three-cornered leek that has reappeared as a thick blanket despite me culling it in the first spring I was here, in my new house, then finding it had reappeared hugely aggressively last year and now, in my third spring, it's even thicker and even more widespread - and is now not only in the flower beds but also in the lawn, thick along the edge, scattered within it. Front and back. It takes about two hours to clear about a square yard - digging under the bulbs; banging off the (very good, I've been told) soil in which there are always several earthworms which I need to hang on to (obviously); then picking out the tiniest bulbs left behind. I don't think I can ever finish it this year - as happened last year - which means the problem will go on for decades. I don't really have the time (I need to work, I need a life beyond digging and clearing). The only solution I can think of is to bring in help but my budget won't allow that. I value having lawn so paving it over isn't an option. I will have less planting space, which will eventually mean less weeding, but it's not something I can do right now - I've too much to do to bring the indoors up to date. I disagree with Jo DP. The previous owners had a keep it wild policy and now I have this big problem with a massively invasive plant. And, yes, I have tried using it in recipes - it really isn't worth the effort of keeping it under control (to have a limited supply). I'm an experienced and adventurous cook and three-cornered leek is an overrated ingredient, even though it's free and in my garden.

unstarted It's a small concrete area, the walls are a nice feature, the plan is to dig most of the concrete out and put flagstones down (although I am wondering about trying the printed overlay) and get more planters. It all has to wait as it is currently a temporary parking area.
