....Two years and three months later. The bit of fence shown is the best bit, the rest was broken and flapping in the wind. I would'nt fix it because it's next doors and the hubby was an a******e. he got bin bagged by is wife last year. Now the new man wants to have ago at the fence. I offerd to give him a chuck on with it. He said " i'm not into hard work and am only repairing the worse bits" ??? So offer withdrawn. Anyway to make a short story long, he ripped some of it down three weeks ago. Now he's hammered in two of those f****** spikey thingymebobs, no string line and put in an eight foot post 3x3 :p. put 3 arris rails up one at 3ft spacing and the other two at 1 foot. Nailed them on with two nails in each, the thinnest nails ever, no mortice joints. and left it till the next attempt. watch this space :(

.....Won't need wid ??? the force of him hammering the close boards on, plus the weight, will bring it down. i've offered, if they buy the material, i will do the erecting. But too costly according to them. More of the false economy. I know i'll end up paying for it and doing it in the end, so i'll let him carry on wasting time and money, until i get the time to do it, no hurry its been 4 years now :laugh:

Where the table and chairs are in picture, there is now my old trusty shed. The "Cock" had erected a bit of the fence with the close boarding my side. He told my wife because my shed was to close to the old fence, he would have to reverse the arris rails on that bit and board his side ??? he could'nt do it for two weeks as he was going to spain, leaving me fenceless. So i got the material yesterday and finished it as best i could owing to his abortion. He had screwed just the centre of the boards, leaving the rest like a fan. The screws were screwed in thereby forcing the feather board away from the arris rail :p Had to nail the top, take out his screws then nail the centre and bottom. I will give the fence till the end of the winter before it disappears. No gravel board, and boards below ground 6 inches, as my garden slightly raised, so he will be getting the bulging board syndrome. Hope it lasts until i sell up :;): Toshed it in, in a nice brown so dont look too bad, if you look quick with your eyes closed :laugh: Also bill in the post, for when he gets back off his hols'.
