you have to do as I did with my son ...
take her from a scrap dealer cars
and tell him to choose one as he pleases. 😉

 

[Italy]

choose one

 

[Andy Allen]

She wants a white one
With a stereo
And air con
Alloy wheels
Colour match bumpers
Blah, blah, blah...

I would of been happy with 4 wheels and a stirring wheel...

Spent a few hours popping these tiles and scrapping the old adhesive up ready for next week

 

[macten]

She wants decking with a pagoda building 🙁

Sounds like you need to find a small job this week Nick! Haha

 

[WetSaw]

Forget about stirring wheels and scrapping...

I'm looking forward to seeing the pagoda..

or maybe a pergola..

😀

 

[macten]

I thought she said pagani earlier!

 

[macten]

Anyway I’m gonna cheat and buy a pergola from the garden centre. Still got to build the decking though 🙁

Was in B&Q last week, the assistant asked if I wanted decking, thankfully I got the first punch in....🙂

That’s nice of you Andy, I’d be bloody chuffed too mate. Sounds like a deal. 🙂

 

[macten]

700mm - that was yesterday and it killed me ! Today was a breeze compared to that.

I just bought an LG 55” OLED if it makes you feel any better Nick! 😛

 

[macten]

It really doesn't

Wow, you went down proper mate didn’t you. Fair play!

I'm already working out how many tools I can get in the back, incase the van breaks down again ..😉

More than you think, I bet! Haha

 

[macten]

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 😛

 

[Old Mod]

It really doesn't

It’s got a cracking picture too!

sorry mate,
Sometimes you just can’t help it, you know what I mean don’t you.

 

[macten]

was going to ask you what it's like once I'd stopped sulking

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 🙁
