The sun was having a visit down my end today FM - we were forecast heavy rain, and now it is, but, for the most part, we've had some lovely sunshine.

I'll send it back your way overnight and hope it reaches you by morning.

Well done on your hard work though

 

Big Stroke of Luck Again Today I Need Aprox 2/300 Old Bricks to Compleet my Project they have knocked down an old church by me My Mate Knows the Bloke Whos demolished it and told me i can help my self ive just got to dress em and clean em up

 

Glad you've had a good result there Folly Mon. What age are the bricks that you will be getting? Such a shame that these churches are being demolished,
Jenny

 

Does that mean you've got a church full of beavers inside yourself?

It was Victorian sad to see it demolished that's the problem with Barrett houses they will buy anything and knock it down

 

Concreating Will Start Next Week Aprox 2.5 Ton

This Footing aint going No Where

Ive got to Bucket it down the garden and mix it next to the Hole to pour it stright in them Level it all

Ive Dug Some Returns Today to Build Some Small Pillers either side with some capping stones on top o them

Ive Also Found Some other Capping stones in Terracotta I Think they Am whitch i going to change on the folly so the ones that come off there can be used in th Arbor

Ile Have to up load a Pic For the Zig Dr to Conferm for Me

 

Would it be worth trying accumix and getting load out the front on a sheet and then bucket it down the back if it aint too hot you will have a couple of hours before it sets.
They do small loads and mix just what you need and you could have it dropped on a sheet,save abit of mauling mate.

 

Ile Look in to that Lazydog Thank Thank you

 

Ive Found these Copeing Toppers Down the Reclmation Yard

Wot I Intend to do with them is change the Turret Tops on the Folly Well This is My Idea I Think they are Terracotta?? the 2 up stands I Am going to do with the Red Ones

So if this makes Sence Do 1 Mis One Do 1 Mis 1 All the way Along so the 2 raised 2 will be Red then alternate with the creem ones so i will have 4 cream ones left over

Then I Am Going to use 2 of the Cream Ones as Pillor Caps in the Arbor
