    I constructed a barn a couple of years ago for a very nice chap, and since then have gone back every now and then to do other jobs.

    Not my normal type of work, but I have just finished this today.

    I have also been busy making the 30 white fence panels that you see in the back ground. I'm not good with repetition, and thankfully escaped having to put them up.

      Fantastic!
      Used to love playing chess when I lived in Amsterdam, and occasionally played on the large set near the Leidseplein. The game gets harder when played at this scale..........

      Love that fence too sir!:blue thumb:

        Your handywork is amazing, as always, but I like the hedge and the arch too (well I assume its an arch?) - the low hedge and skinny uprights for the arch are intriguing I reckon :)
