That's all part of his Feng Shui plan...

justin, only you mate. only you.

Truly appalling!

A PROPER patio layer would have ended up showing a bare minimum of around six inches of buttcrack!
The Union of Patio Layers Of No Knowledge Encouraging Rider Speed (PLONKERS) would be walking out of this site and forming a picket line!

Well I was showing my cousins the proper butt crack methodology, but it didn't take, my demonstration only served to make them

The younger one did have a point when he said "so how come you don't get hot chicks with butt crack showing then?"

justin, only you mate. only you.

This coming from the man who rides a big bike, down to a small one, gets a detector after you've collected enough Helen Clarks to fund a small war and then finds out they may be made illegal! All good mate, all good ...

[The Pastor]

then orders a hard system only to sell the bike!

So where are the piccies of the completed works then, after all you started the job "last year"! John.

[Fub@r]

Hey Joe when you finish there you can come to my place.........I have 600+ cobblestones to lay

That time of year for landscaping, sick of bark and punga logs now but it does look good now. Put a new folding washing line up for the missus and mentioned some ideas for this area around it.........thinking future plans.

Silly me my idea of future and missus idea of future are two completely different time frames Hence I will be fencing and cobbling over the last two weeks of my holidays. Will be looking forward to going back to work for a rest

Oh yes ... I know exactly how you feel, I was working on making a planter box for dear old mum with dear old dad. Was nice to work outside, but the problem was ... we were working!

Well mum is happy, she can grow her spring onions, parsley, bok choi and other kitchen veges without having to stoop to conquer!

I just have to fill it with the dirt I scooped out with the digger (but without the digger's help this time! )

And it seems mum is so tickled pink she wants planter boxes for the two new fruit trees which will go next to the trellis ...

I dunno, you do a good job and bingo bongo bango ... you get more heaped on your plate!

[gijoe1313]

Well, phew ... Dad and I sweated out some of our last years chrissy meals and got the box finished.

I lined it with black plastic and then we proceeded to swear like sailors and sweat like pigs as we laboured to fill the frikk'n thing in! :
Mum will be growing rhubarb, spring onions, parsley and other chinese veges!

I was thinking of Fub@r doing the Coro and boy did I curse his name a lot!

Also went window shopping for a new barbie and also bought some new tool bling (corner clamps )

Anyway as anyone who has slung a spade knows, its a good way to build up the appetite and feel like you've done a good days work (anything to delude ourselves )

Right, only a patio and suntuff roof to do now!

You missed out on an awesome ride GIJoe, its not the same when your not there, no commando raids on local rubbish bins etc

[Gubb]

We did have a bin in your honour though.

Also went window shopping for a new barbie...

Did the last one bugger off with Ken?
