    Arthur that is so true but as BS was otherwise engaged as a make shift workbench and being just 10C and my hands could just cope with doing it that way and besides its done. How's those parking stations coming along haven't seen any further posts on them must be like my spinning wheels long term WiP.

    Thanks Graham and Peter

    Sue/Nana has plans in the pipe line Peterfor all the bedding. Unlike me allowing Sue to use my tools and machines I do no get the same privileges with her sewing machine's . Been along while since I did anything like that last was upholstery for something car, bus or coach seats I think.

    The parking station is parked awaiting further attention, old mate.

    When you have to trot back and forth to Bris. to sort out some medical stuphph,
    attend to SWMBO's more important demands , entertain guests and clean up
    a jungle, the shed takea a very remote back seat.

    I have done more on sorting out the shed, so that will help. And the jungle i referred to
    was covering the transpiration pit down the back of the block. Took 4 tns. to the tip and
    burnt another tn. Only about a ton to go!!! THEN I can start on my tropical garden>
    Almost forgot- I have to cut the Golden canes from around the pool before the rotten
    things invade far enough to crack the pool. Another ton of greenery to go!!!

    I also had to put up a roller door and do some fence rearranging for reasons of privacy.
    Now SWMBO has me under starter's orders to put slats across the front of the abode!!!
    Never stops!
