The DAM Greening of Qatar Project...

It was driving us crazy! No greenery, no grass, no trees, no birds - just stark brick it our
back patio area. What to do? Well time to start the "DAM Greening of Qatar Project". With
no access to a home depot, it was going to be a challenge but nothing the Burton's can't
over come when it comes to "metro-sexualing" the villa.
In the Beginning...

...there was
nothing but hot,
baked bricks
covered in dust
with beige walls.
We enlisted the
help of
neighbours and
friends to
transform the
area.
Step #1

First we had to remove the
bricks. Now these were
packed in tighter than a nun's
nasty. It was all hands on deck
including Walker who thought
this was the best lego set he
had ever played with. On
removal, all bricks were to
washed and stacked
accordingly to DB's anal
instructions.
Step #2

Next the high quality "dirt"
arrived. There was a massive
amount and we use the  word
dirt sparingly as it was really
just two guys in turbans who
went around the corner and
filled their truck up with the first
thing they came across and
dumped it on the road in front of
our house. Anyway it was
wheeled around to the back
where it was spread out,  
"de-rocked" and leveled. We
were ready for the grass
delivery along with some pots,
plants and wooden lattice.
Step #3

The grass was delivered in rolls, same guys, same delivery method, same quality - once again it was
taken around to the back where it was laid out the care of a heart surgeon. We potted some plants, put
up the lattice, got a hose installed, hung some wall pots, got furniture and a slide for Walker...AND
And on the Seventh Day...

..the DAM Greening of Qatar Project was complete. It is now ready for use. We will be having our first
"garden party" next week.
