    fantastic job woo, I bet your so proud! [​IMG] Cant believe you've done all that by yourself, it was such hard work doing just that patio between two of us. Im also paying the consequences with the back, get yourself some deep heat & rub it where your back hurts, it really helps & works much faster than any pain killers (stinks but hey we cant have it all good!). By the way your lions look great! :D

    :D Pal

    My hubbys body could be seen as a temple i suppose: i offer food and expensive lager in front of it in the hope of a spiritual gift such as a new Jeep, or even a raise in the house keeping :D

    woo just read your thread from start to finish and would just like to say what a fantastic job you have done. [​IMG] [​IMG] you must remember to give your self a pat on the back if your back is up to it after all that lifting. dont think you realise how much you have done unless you look at the pictures at the start. it took me 18months to sort mine out lazy swines before us had no soil or borders just about 9 ton of lime stone.. and that deap heat got me through it.. ps if im ever in kent im off to the pier for a pint and lunch :D :D

    Wonderful Woo that does look really good through the gate and notice how the lions don't 'stick out' any more, it all fits together smashing. I bet Mrs.Woo is right pleased. ;)
