tris dont worrie sure its all a bit of fun,, thats what i get for a rush job :

ps. i am going to change my name coz every time i go out to the shed all i hear is "ja are you coming in soon"  help needed fast

jason

Where did you get them Noel??

i got the same ones in b&q or any garden center

i do'nt think i'll make it up from laois this time lads as linda is due on the 4th of may :

dip your wick you must pay for the oil

Jason that yard looks absolutely perfect. Although... no drains?  (Sorry    )

hi tris

sorry i could not reply straight away but there was big trouble down on site, i had to go down and have strong words with the groundworks contractor i got in to do the yard . it nearly went to blows, but as i am a BIG man ( 22 stone )    the groundworks contractor backed down ( wise move ). so he will be back when the concrete drys to put in the drains and gullies that were in the quote,

it just goes to show if you pay peanuts all you get is monkeys

who built those sheds jason?

the sheds were build by model ed from mitchelstown,  he is on there

what have you used for the concrete

i used tile grout some pva glue and some water, i did a search on here and coppied some one else

sorry i got to take no pictures during the big pour as we were short a few hands .

so here is the finished job, lets just no one walks accross it or no live stock get out, as we are waiting on the gates to be delivered from the co-op     ( come on coxy )

we thats enough for today i'm off down to the pub ;)

its been a very bust few days down at the yard, we got the big yard hardcored and got the concrete poured this morning.

here are a few pictures i got to take,

the digger waiting for the concrete lorries to come.

a quick look up the road and hey look whats coming the first two loads

i have to agree its looking spot on whats your measurements for the fencing and how have you fixed them to your layout? it looks a lot better than the plastic Britain's fencing and looks more realistic too

hi nick

the fencing posts are around 100mm apart ( 10 ft in real scale ) and are 6mm dowel cut to 70mm long then i drilled a 6mm hole where i wanted the post to be and you know your self.

the wire is plasterers scrim tape sprayed silver and cut down in size attached using a little pva glue and the top strand of wire is just sowing thread

hope this helps

jason

bor is your man to ask, he's on here

started 3 posted drivers today

and finishing 6910

hurry up with the post driver jk agri contractors has a price put in for a big job, 

thanks for the help

no problem alex , the one thing about been on here is that you'l find everyone very helpfull

well there are some things you just have to live with .....

its bloody cold out there :

i'll put the contract out for the demolition soon ( around may should be warm enough by then ) let me know if your interested ;D

looks great, wheres the fencing from?

alex

the steaks are 6 mm and 8mm dowels and the net is plasterers scrim tape cut down to size and sprayed silver, and the strand of wire is tread from the sowing kit, hope that helps

jason
