Thats brilliant.

I think it will be overkill here so need to look at the right balance.



Mickey had asked me if I would paint the outer edge, facing his property green, kind of to blend with the hedge a bit, and the green roof sheets I had ordered.

So today in my “Lunch Hour” I quickly mixed some green and black enamel paints to get a darker colour.

Maybe a tad dark, but I don't care as I won’t be seeing it.



Resulting in this.



Once the gutters are fitted, they are some dark colour, it should be OK for him.

Still waiting for the roof sheets to be delivered.
