Only because you’ve been hiding behind the sofa until Boris said you can go out!

 

You know you’re welcome to visit!

Your right, 

NOW I really need to get out more, lets have a meet up at Eastleigh, or here, or I can come to yours and get some inspiration Ian.

Thanks.

A very busy day yesterday. My Grandson came early, and we made a start on the Summerhouse and finished most of it, I just need to trim the roof felt along the front and then paint it, but it was a long hard day working through the lighter showers and enjoying the warmth of the sunshine in between.

 

When the S/H was delivered we were expecting;

A floor,

4 x sides,

2 roof sections

and the windows and doors.

 

What we got was;

2 x Floor sections

8 side sections,

6 roof sections,

Windows and doors,

So construction took a lot longer than expected.

 

Today Ricky is picking up the Cement mixer and we are starting on the Patio.

 

[Andrew P]

A quick pic whist I'm on here this morning.

 

Bill and Ben discus what to do with the old Sleepers, the hot money is on just leaving them there. 33046 Merlin sits quietly behind, and is not getting involved.

Is that going to be the terminus of your garden layout Andy. Could you run from SMS to the Summerhouse?

Don't mean to rain on your parade but you are not going to fit many layouts in that!

 

Or is it a model?

Clock work might work, as there's no power, haha Phil.

I think you would be in big trouble if you even mentioned putting a layout in there.
