Then a steel cover is screwed over the top apparently. Electrician is here next thursday to do the work, I am taking a day of leave to provide manual labour where required

    I bought a trenching shovel, best thing I ever did, along with my large crow bar (is that what you call the 1.8 metre ones?) I was able to get the trench finished in 3 hours. It probably does not look like much, but Lara at least where I am has hard clay and then these hard rocks underneath that. Bloody hard work!

    But I sure am stuffed now!

    Cheers

    You mean a "Spud Bar". Great fun using these, great for breaking up concrete, splitting logs and loosing up soil. You certainly know about your entire upper body after playing with it for a few hours.

    Luckily I have a spa

    A bit more progress today. Got the guttering up, thanks for your help . Managed to get half the roof on thanks to Scooter and son (Josh), also thanks to Springwater for the offer of assistance .

    I'll hold the ladder for you as long as you don't ask me to look up . I would have asked my neighbour to help but they were unavailable (private joke, may let me put the pic in open slather, but I doubt it)

    See Jeff, I told you there was room for the gutter .

    Geez, GJ, it still looks like you cut it a bit fine.....

    Looking good so far. You get rid of the skylights after the first hot days though I suspect.
