Jo! :of   

I assume you mean the builders may get it totally wrong.

(Auntie Jo, you must not make such comments as the boys will take it as an opportunity to be VERY naughty).

Quite right Auntie Sue - that is what I meant of course, and I will be careful to avoid such language in the future. ;D

Mind you Unkelfergus could have used a better form of words in the first place.  I suspect you will have a quiet word in his ear - this is a family forum after all! ;D

Look... can we stop this potty mouth talk plllllllllllease... Mike... you are an 'officer of de leure' are you not... arrest Auntie Jo for... er... incestuous thoughts.... Unk for having a large erection during the hours of daylight... and give Auntie Sue a job as Chair of the FTF neighbourhood watch scheme for ATTEMPTING to clean up FTF and make our streets... er..... boards.... a safe place to walk in the evenings, without fear of tripping over a badly placed double entendre.

dirty people  >:(

Kind regards

The Reverend Mark Channell

and you know why choir boys have a centre parting... right  ;):-[:P

i hope young cerin doesnt see this sort of post, the poor boy will be scared with talk like that from his mummy  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Not to mention his uncle! ::)

Thanks for the support, now Reverend. Lord Marky Ferguson Channell.  I echo your comment but please understand I am no Mary Whitehouse!  :of Let's get this topic back on track. I expect unkelfergus to keep us informed on the raising of the new grainstore.

It never happened last week because of a slight mix up of four main pieces that were missing after galvanising.

They have been found and it will start arriving tomorrow.

All of the zed purlins and braces and small stuff arrived at lunchtime.....

If you ever have a few minutes spare Graham,call in,....I'm never far away at the moment,....either on this building or in the workshop..... ;)

Mark,.....in the last picture where the shadow on the hedge ends, the pipe goes through and stops. When we get the first cut of grass off, I will continue the pipe another 90 metres back to a pond the size of Sean's belly... ;D ;D ;D .

At the other end the pipe goes to a ditch in our neighbours garden.

They reckon they will have it up by saturday.... ;)

Had a little drain to sort out instead...

...and believe me,..it was little but moving a fair trickle of water as you will see.

The clay drain was 45mm diameter,..one of the smallest I have seen,...it was 40 inches below the surface... :of

Out with the massey and trencher....

Will be doing the concrete ourselves Graham,....not really looking forward to it but cant justify the extra expense.

Will have to give lord fergie a shout to come and visit the same day as we have about ten loads in......... ;) ;) ;)
