        Don't overdo the workload, not being manual doesn't mean it won't have an effect on your back (from sitting) and your mind (from drained energy!).

        Having said that ... the water wheel idea sounds wonderful!!! You got those pre-formed for a great price, well done to you! :dbgrtmb:

                          Folly Mon SLOW-DOWN OR you will not live long enough to enjoy your labours

                          Seriously, It is not just now and the next few years, it is when you are sixty will you see seventy, if you have broken your body doing heavy manual work to excess

                          I am not work shy, never have been and worked long hard manual jobs, Now I sit and
                          watch the manual side of the family droping dead at 70 and the Lawyer office side of the family, still sitting watching the flowers grow at 92
