    Superb work, as usual :love30: :dbgrtmb:

    Re scaffolding: they've now invented it and it's a skilled job :blue thumb:. I took these photos a couple of weeks ago. Someone told me that it's so sophisticated that it doesn't need tieing in! :heehee:

          It's going to have two open bays for parking, one closed in bay for a workshop, then up above will become a lovely large storage area. :)

          I'd love to have a frame this size in garden. :(

          [Apparently, those of us lucky enough to do gardening for a living are among the happiest workers. :hapfeet:[/quote]

          Another good thing about gardening is that it can brighten up the lives of those who don't do it for a living, as well as those who do. For instance, if you have an extremely stressful job thee are few things more relaxing to look forward to returning home to than a garden, or any kind of growing / cultivation.

            A few years ago when I was locked in BWW1, I can't say I found it that relaxing to return home to things growing. It was a bit fun, but not relaxing.
