Why did you get the turf in....? It looked better before
Give it a couple of weeks for the turf to bind and blend and it will look much better than before.
Nice job amigafan.

Can you not see the run right to left? It's 18 inches higher on the right.
Plus, the old lawn didn't have much grass, that's mostly moss in that pic.
I'll take another pic in two weeks.

Not today but this last week:
Rebuilt all my stairs
Painted the stair case and banister
Installed architrave on 4 doorways and painted
Installed skirting in two rooms and painted.
Screwed down squeaky floorboards.
Replaced some 22mm boiler piping.
Replaced 2 light switches.
Upgraded 3 single sockets to 3 double sockets.
Painted the bedroom and stairwell after the fresh plaster skim dried. 2 prime coats then 2 top coats on the walls and ceilings.
Thoroughly exhausted.

Hello
can I ask what you used to level your garden, I have one that rolls like hills and I'm looking to level it all out so that I can lay a lawn.
Cheers

Looks like a job well done there!
How'd you get the grouting so neat?
I'd have put a glass splashback behind the hob instead, e.g. http://www.myappliances.co.uk/prod/...er_60x75.htm?gclid=CM2MyJu5o80CFRG3Gwod0QoDIw so much easier to clean.

grouting is very impressive 
Bought and broke in a stihl strimmer in our ditch - fun destroying the weeds, not so fun standing in stagnant mud
Horrendous dragging the cuttings out and taking them to the tip

Cheers - not bad for a first attempt
Last minute change to where I wanted to start.. wish I'd stuck with the other plan and dealt with the mess behind sockets!
Not to sure.. infact it was my first attempt at it and just went as quick as possible as I made a rookie mistake of mixing the whole back and then realised I was never going to get it all on the wall before it'd got to difficult to force it into the gaps!

Cheers! I might have to give in and finish up the few tiles upto the cooker hood though its already bugging me a little! although that does mean putting my poor diy skills to the test in taking the hood down and moving its position slightly!
