Thing is I'll never use it. I could have got a 55'' OLED smart telly and wall bracket for what this is going to cost me - I'm gonna make her sit out there in winter

Blimey you’ve grafted there Nick!

To be fair apart from breaking up the concrete where the old bricks were it was just like clay and I stopped when I hit the hardcore which was about 60-70cm. Easy digging compared to what it could have been (done loads of fences and there's brick, big stones and roots and one hole can take 1/2 a day) After 16 I was knackered though :p

Yeah I know mate, I’ve been digging some piles in my garden, 100 x 100 posts to 800mm. Thing is I need 48! I’m half way :(

Haha - you've cheered me up now. I wouldn't want to do that for 2 tellys!
