What did you do today ?

Spent a good day on the allotment catching up, also done a load of washing--great washing day today.

 

Yesterday we did an amazing amount of work in the garden only sad part is that we are quickly running out of garden to work with.:(Hel.xxx.

 

wilroda, that must take a lot of time to water!

 

er..yes it does!! pretty much all day !!

 

Started strimming at this stable complex 6am, done by 8 and off to next job, finished 5pm:



This garden is on the side of a valley and severly slopeing, cut with a 2 stroke roatry mower:





A tall hedge, to the top its 30'



My machines make it easy to cut even the tall the side from the ground, the top is cut from other side were ground is higher, Not a lot of hedges I cant cut even if 20' wide !!!:

 

I find the problem with a wide hedge it actually being able to get up to the top to cut it ! been alot of mowing today didhave a slight prob with a customer who rents a house out though she didnt turn up to let me in so i rang her she said theres someone in there :rolleyes: so i nocked on the door n some polish woman answered think i got her out of bed (lazy cow it was 1030lol ):rolleyes: and i managed to just about tell her wot i was there for without drawing a dam picture anyone know how to say im here to do the garden unlock the dam gate in polish ???

" find the problem with a wide hedge it actually being able to get up to the top to cut it "

I use an 8 step platform step ladder for most jobs or for anything really tall an extension ladder leant in with a lamp iron driven behind the lowest rung to stop the ladder slideing back.

 

:thumb: an that reminds me i need to get a roof rack fer me new van and anyone know where i can get a quality seat cover ?? mines ripped an its only been on 2 months :confused:

 

Heres were i got the ones for my transit being that it has a 3 seat cab normal covers wont work:

They make them to fit the van, brilliant covers although expensive.

The ones in my pick up I got from screwfix and although they have loads of spare fabric folds being a universal fit, they do work

 

Yeah ive got 3 seats to but its just getting in and out all the time has nackered mine the other is like new lol look good value for money really thanks for that link ill have to order one im also looking for a "nice" looking roofrack to ...

 

you missed a bit :p i can still see weeds on the steps :D

 

"im also looking for a "nice" looking roofrack to"

Try the same place for the roofrack, I have a rhino one bought from there. not bad really and copes with heavy stuff.

 

i wanted a blue van but the only ones i could find had over 200,000 on the clock

the rack looks good though and were those extra locks fitted when you got the van ? ive been thinking of getting something similar for mine or maybe an alarm ...

been an ok day here but look more steps :rolleyes:


oh an it wernt a weed on them other steps so there :plol
