The new great wall.

It's finished. The wall of next doors garage. We first heard of this wall around 2 years ago, at the time it was planned to go in front of our sunroom windows - something we were not happy about to say the least. Fortunately for us, the council were not happy about it either as it did not comply with the building regulations.

So to cut a long story short, the wall location has been changed (it's now a legal distance away from our north facing windows) and building commenced a couple of weeks ago. This long awaited wall has finally arrived and to be honest I quite like it!

It is rather imposing though and feels very high (although it's only about 290cm) but I think it will help soften the noise of approaching trains and provide us with lots of privacy which is lovely.

I look forward to seeing how we can incorporate it into our backyard and make it like a courtyard feature. Hopefully in the end it will be a win win situation for everyone.
