Everyone in South East England OK? jdgm, did your bank survive?

[Guest Farnsbarns]

That was quite a storm last night. I was up at 1.30am moving outdoor stuff into the garage when it really started building up.

 

Jdgm, there was a lot of rain, hows that bank looking?

 

Hope no one had any serious losses.

Yes OK thanks FB. I'm in Hertfordshire and I don't think we got it quite so bad as you. I'm surrounded by trees and that adds to the noise level. Writing here at 2 pm it's sunny but still very windy.

[jdgm]

Thank you for your concern.

The wind was worse here than the rain but anything that was going to blow away went in the last storm!

The bank is stable and the retaining wall is finished - see pic taken 3 wks ago - I was hoping to landscape and plant then update everyone, but as I have zero funds left that will take months.

I've tidied up since this pic but it won't look good until more topsoil is put on and gradiented - won't be going all the way up either. I need about 5 tons they say.....

 

 

Best wishes.

My best wishes from here, too.

[Rabs]

Yup.. All good here...

 

 

Good to see you have your situation at least stable JDGM

Pity I hadn't known last year jd as finally after some 20 years of saying I was going to do it I sorted my (very) small garden out. But that still involved getting rid of at least 10 tons of earth!

 

I missed the original thread on this but it looks as if you had a landslip.

Wow.. There was some mad damage.. This pic is crazy... A crane that's been bent over...

 

[merciful-evans]

You gave me cause to panic!

 

I thought RBS had become insolvent again

Garden fence is completely destroyed. Hole in the roof after loosing a few tiles. Double glazed widow broken! Apart from that it's all good!

Sh1t, not again mate. Sorry to hear that. Back to the insurance again. What fun.

 

Everything dry? Anything I can do?

Lost 3 fence panels, and the posts of the remaining ones will need to be re-dug. Lost a small tree, and the shed roofing felt was shredded off the top, so a leaky shed!

Wow, that crane looks hopeless. Awile back we had one that collapsed and hit the street below. Glad we weren't downtown when it hit. Guess it hit some cars.
