    Finished the trim round the door, that must have been in the "too difficult" box for the fencer:

    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Made a bench and some shelves for my shed. Just what it needed, to get all the junk up off the floor. It's given me a whole lot more space:

    We put that chest of drawers back together too, for somewhere to store fleece, netting etc.

    All in all, a nice productive week. Weather held off just enough for us to get the outside stuff done. :D

    Hi MBE
    Small pot of 'Hammerite' paint should sort the steel post out.
