Most of what I do is just common sense ( and YouTube videos) but I work with a builder on things like this and he is unbelievable, he did all the oak and rebuilt the sandstone gable ends, a real skill 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry I do enjoy this kind of work, after spending 25 years working on trucks and chemical tankers and not really giving a sh*t it’s now nice to be working for myself and with mates and wanting to do a good job, I was offered another lamppost job yesterday where someone had concreted them in and wondered why they are all leaning now, so I’ll have a look at that P.S. them holes were filled with concrete, not just left like that 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
