      What can I say Nick, amazing progress, I think we all knew that your arbour wasn't going to be anything average such are your skills for these kind of things :love30::dbgrtmb:

      But don't go nuts mate, we like your company on here, your an inspiration to many , after the life you've had a lot of people would have give up but not you, you've turned it all around and are making the most out of life now, it takes a special person to do that....., just go easy :dbgrtmb:

          That's looking great Folly Mon, can't believe how much progress you've made already. What will you grow up your arbor? Grapes? Hope you will be able to relax and sit in it with a well deserved cuppa when it's done, with Mrs Folly, and enjoy all your hard work.

              Here is a Preview of Some of the Other Bits Iv Got that i am going to Try and Incorprate in to to Arbor

              The Wooden Windows Loli Come out of a Solid Oak Front Door I Spotted in a Skip the new owners of a house by us took it off to have a upvc door fitted :doh:

              I Knocked the Door Asked if I Could Have it?? They Said I Would be Doing them a Favor Making Room in there Skip :dancy:

              A Mate of Mine Picked it up For Me I Gave The New House Owners Kid a £10 and Gid My Mate £20 to Cut Them out the Front Door Cus He Has All the right Wood Working Tools I Offerd Him More Cus it Took 3n Half Hours to Cut them out and Keep the Shape to Them He Said The Wood was Harder then Mike Tyson's Head :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

              :ThankYou: to Every One For Your Lovely Comments and Kindness :wub2: 009.JPG 011.JPG 090.JPG 088.JPG 091.JPG

                  Oh wow, loving that fireplace!!! When you said you were going to put on in the arbor, I thought, "what a fab idea"; now I see it, I think it is a AWEsome idea! :wow:

                  I like the other bits too, but the fireplace and window are my favourites :)

                    My word Nick when you start something you don't muck around do you. Oh yes, I forbid you to use a spell check. Oh Nick your wonderful way of writing is just how you speak and is an integral part of your character. We love you the way you are. I am proud of you the way you have turned your life around not an easy thing to do.

                    I love the fireplace but those windows are special they are really going to compliment your folly and the pond. Wow you are so industrious. That means you work hard! but please Nick get that corset and make sure you use it and look after that back.

                    Take care.:wub2:

                        Hiya Folly Mon.

                        To be honest, I can't see where this is going as I'm not very good at visualising, so I'll look forward to how this turns out:blue thumb:

                          Don't change ANYTHING about the way you post Nick!! I LOVE reading your posts! They're entertaining, enthusiastic, and inspirational! It just wouldn't be the same if you used spell check. I do hope you aren't pushing yourself too much and are taking care of your body. I can't wait to see the finished arbour but YOU are more important so just set a reasonable pace for yourself and stay well!!
