    It looks nice and sturdy.

    Will it catch much sun?

    Sounds painful! Hope you recover soon.

    Earlier this year I fell off the two-step, ladder, while putting a screw-hook into the pergola for one of my wife's naffin' bird feeders.
    I landed side on to a concrete planter. Talk about take your breath away! We went to hospital in a taxi as UI was in no state to dribe and my wife doesn't, fortunately it was just bruising but I had a big curved bruise on my side and back for a couple of months. I was really lucky it wasn't more serious. Of course "I got blamed for the accident."
    Do we get more "accident prone" as we get older?

    Nathan...edit you pic post above, put the curser after the first pic and hit enter a couple of times to put space between the links.then save the post..it should be fine.

    Maybe...just maybe a kind mod or admin will fix it for you!

    Hope your foot gets better...and well done on the build so far...

    Steve...:)

    Note for mods/admin...nathans last pics post displays ok in firfox..but in IE8..the pics are next to each other, consequently the second pic is half off the page with no way to scroll across.
