Carry on, the landscape work looks great.

I sometimes shake my head at myself, you,call it resourcefulness, thank you.

I am not sure I would be that flattering.

BUT….. a lot of my toys are possible due to a sensible approach to spending.

I was telling someone recently, a free table, worth $50.00 that I could use, released that cash as I was not spending it put my pocket.

And like a used car, it is only new till the ckeck clears at the bank, then you have amused car worth 10-20% less than before you paid for it.




Next job was to make the lower valence up.

Again, made as I went along.

Cut first, measure second.



All of this has been a pain to do solo, as it is high, the ladder is uninspiring, and I worry about my back letting me down, well crashing me to thw floor really.



The whole morning there was a Robin keeping me company, chatting and making an angry noise, I guess he has a nest somewhere nearby.



These should ensure I can dismantle the valence later, to remove the caravan with ease.



Once squared up and screwed together, it was time for the post-crete to -be added to the holes, along with a load of water to set it off.



Done.



Followed by some decorations





I also cleared the excess wood off the drive, in under the carport.

And put up some road signs, andmy battle weary Stars n Stripes.




Later on the Robin was sitting atop the structure, singing away merrily.



Went to bed at 12,30 and by 04.10 the night was over.

Not ideal, but at least I took yesterday and today off work.

Sunrise was nice.





My weekend is here, loads of clearing up to do today, and maybe mounting the dentists light under the carport too.
