      Hi, I managed to get the front hedge out and 2 panels fitted before the snow came,

      A bit of a pause here, while the snow disappeared, then back at it,

          Then it was to eBay, for some gates,

          I managed to get a pair, but I wanted them 5ft wide each so it was time to get the welder out, pictures of the gates I bought, I have only managed to modify one of the gates and still a few bits to finish off, no work has been done on the other yet, the last picture is how the gates will look as a pair when finished, more to come on this project finishing welding and installing them to come soon.

            You've worked hard on that Martin and what a difference it's made. :dbgrtmb: How are you getting on with the gravel? I would like it but the thought of continually raking or sweeping it back where it should be puts me off.
