Even built my own trellis as I considered the trellis out on the market was a bit flimsy..

The bench you can see in the first image in the bottom right hand corner was my first attempt at building something... useful. :D

I've also built a planter - as of which my Landlord has said that he was at a carboot last week in Clitheroe where a guy was selling similar made from pallets at £50 a pop... mine was better looking than his according to him. :)

It's a bloody planter though... C'mon :D

    Taking orders for what Cyndy?

    Well, I was thinking of orders for the planters etc. But now I think about it, and assuming that you are a man, I suppose you are used to taking orders anyway. :D:D

    My neighbours are loving how I'm building stuff... they've bought the TV cabinet off me for £100...

    The missus wanted me to start on the fence - as the old one was a bit... erm... rickwaller... (fecked!

    )

    So I built this one... showed the neighbours and they loved it... said it was certainly a lot stronger than the original one lol

    So, this weekend I've got two more panels to build... Happy days

    I had some time on my hands, so I build a 10m x 13m building 6m high. It will be finished this year.

    Last year I stripped out two rooms and knocked them into one and built a large kitchen with dining area, complete with proper catering sinks, work surfaces and multiple induction and regular hobs and wood-burner with oven.

    Last weekend, I stripped and rebuilt the diesel pump on my tractor (1975 International Harvester 475 with loader). That still leaves me with an old digger that needs fixing.

    Today, despite having no time on my hands, I shall make 50 litres of beer! A man's gotta eat!

    Tomorrow, I shall remove part of the roof and replace it. That should take me all day!

    This winter, I shall strip out the living room and build a media and creation room in art deco 1930s look.

    My wife complains that she seems to be living in a permanent building site!

    Neighbours decided they wanted me to put a door on the TV cabinet rather than have a drawer... told them I'd get on it as soon as physically possible they said no rush :D

    I've given them a choice of varnish to choose from now - so this week I'll be sanding down ready for them :)

    Been a while since I posted here... been busy with loads of little projects.

    Neighbours who bought the TV Cabinet saw something else I'd build and decided they wanted the tv cabinet looking similar...

    So...






    A bit of sanding, varnish and chalk paint... and I think it came out quite well...
