gogreengelb Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 I dont think given the space I have that theres much more I can do apart from the odd small fine details, so we can have a run down on the cost I will be on the generous side with the estimations brickwork 3 x 2.50 =7.50euro apple tree,s 3 x 5 = 15 euro wood for gates and fencing 6 x 0.70 euro =4.20 euro paint 6.50 euro gravel 4 x 2.50= 10 euro britains farm buildings 27 euro britains pig huts 7 euro The rest of the material was basically waste off cutts of wood corrugated cardboard packing glue that we are no longer allowed to use at work. Total cost I reckon at 77.20 euro plus most of my spare time since the middle of January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
