    I agree with Marley ... you are like Pal and have wonderful surroundings to work in ... the views from both the grass cutting and the pool cleaning are breathtaking ... I'm sure that makes the work all that more enjoyable.

    I'm not sure, however, that our dear Pal would be able to cope with your tidiness ... have you ever seen his van? :eek: Pal ... [​IMG]

    Today, Just to show that i dont always get intresting places to work, the only saving grace of this job being its less than 5 mins drive from home:

    Some cretin of a tree surgeon had left me a present, High stumps are a pet hate of mine as they are inavribly coverd in soil and blunt the chain.

    Pressed aluminium, (The fence isnt my work).

    A nice low maintance product but the contractors that did it hadnt put in any gravel board so there was a bit of a gap at the base. Not sure if they make gravel boards to go with it, if so then it would imo be an excellent product.
