    Who ever owns it it looks an nice garden to be working in.

    Wonder how many avian casualtys that big pain will clock up. One of the places I work at is a converted barn with the old full height doorway fully glazed, almost always a dead bird on the ground or a bird print on it!!!!

    Pro,the employed gardener is a very nice young lady:) I had quite a nice chat with her too. :rolleyes:
    I did suggest the owner hang something on the glass, I have also seen the problem caused when a bird tries to fly 'through' the space:(

    :thumb:Correct borrowers..No name ,No pack drill;)

    The driveway..
    [​IMG]

    Nick some?????:eek:????ME?...Goodness,what a thing to suggest;)

    Pro,It took me ten minutes to read the modulation and application methods:D..and I still don't know what makes it so expensive. I can tell you this..It is some of the worst stuff to 'work' I have ever encountered .I was covered in it,I just couldn't get it to stick where there was the smallest amount of dust:mad:
    (Tip! Forget soapy water to dress it with..good old spit does the trick:p)

    Yes Lady... I am lucky not being stuck in one place for too long and on the whole I work in some lovely locations:).
    Wish I'd been on G-C when I was working all over the country...I really did see some great sights.

    :D Sounds good stuff Bob.... The black sealant I used only seemed to stick to my hands and it's ingrained so much I made them sore trying to clean it off with W-spirit:rolleyes:
