ryaldinhio 4,492 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Kids have banged in and on about a climbing frame and playground so started with this today. Got structure up, time to add the timber work and the toys. P.s. that swing was temporary to decide on slide position! 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's the wind mixed with salt that burns here. It can be a pain sometimes, but what can you do. Even the new hedge that I planted in April is turned brown over night. Hopfully they'll bounce back Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Go back Monday finish up. Have you ever tried the brush in wet pointing stuff,it's awesome and ok a bit dearer but the wetter it is the easier to point with,i won't do cement pointing now and they buy the wet stuff or do it themselves.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
