started prep wok for relaying the driveway, re aligned  the sleepers down one side to give us a bit more room when parking my car,as its a bit longer than the wifes, also worked out what i need bricks wise to sort a new boarder for it all, next step order up some bags sand and ballast  the. i can reset the boarders in, hopefully next weekends job with luck, aim to have it all sorted boarder wise ready for a week off i have in march, so i can just lift,relevel and relay the main area,hopefully ina day or 2 tops .this bar some wall painting is the last work after the extension was done, so with luck its model time  after its done, and i have plenty to finish and also drawn out to build

got well under way on the driveway now, have 2 sides edged up , and have started to re-lay the main area which i have about 1/4 done , luckly the sand underneath is well packed and level so i dont need to do much work other than move the bricks over to sit against the new edges  .with luck by the end of tomorrow i will have the main area re done,which leaves me the last the widening to do . this will need the car (well hers) of the drive for a couple of days ,while i bed in the new edge and match the front edge up to it , so i may leave this till the week i have off in march .

now done two thirds of the drive, got both drain covers sorted which was the slow bit, also decided to see how good a manicure i could do with the angle grinder :(:( let just say its deep, its across the top of my thumb nail ,but weirdly it doesnt hurt, it didnt bleed at all, and after a bit of savlon( says its for cuts :D) and two plasters on it ,i was back to work no worries , wife wasnt happy about it mind, wanted me to go to A&E :blink: . not like its hanging off or anything,

Allow I posted up a few weeks back that I had bought this JCB , I have only picked it up today as the man I bought it off asked if he could keep it a few weeks just to finish of a job he was doing at his home to which I agreed but at lunchtime today I drove it to its new home , feeling quite chuffed at this moment really looking forward to loading grain this coming harvest

Allow the virus I picked up the other week has passed it has left me feeling weak and a nasty cough but my mates insisted I go and help for a day last week as planned installing the first bits of a staircase in a new building which is going to be selling pre-owned ££££££ cars . I should be going back to help fix on the glass side rails when they get delivered
