Cheers Kwack!

Yes mate, this stuff was untreated but free. I had to split 2 CNC delivery pallets down to make this happen. It has post savers and will be receiving sealant and painting soon

Usually Pallet fences look they are made from pallets. That has to be the best looking pallet fence I can recall ever seeing.
It's a 10 from me Cav',, with bonus points for the Wombling aspect too.

Recovering.

Had Jess’ daughters 16th birthday and 7 teens staying over the weekend. Looking forward to sitting down to an empty house now they are all back at school and catch up on the MotoGP

You could also add a small step...??

You know, to give it a little stile.

More work? No thanks. I've got to find time to sand and treat it already.

I'm in a conference with counsel, experts and clients. Every git wants to have their say. It's very tedious and we're getting no where

Cycling with my son to see his Great-Grandparents this evening for an hour.

It's been such a lovely week of having him all to myself in the evenings since my Wife's been back at the gym and he's really taken to the KidsRideShotgun seat

I had a similar seat up for my kids, called a WeeRide. It was more of a back carrier type seat though. I really enjoyed those times too. Cherish it mate, they grow up faster than you imagine

Absolutely mate, when we got home he immediately grabbed his balance bike (still too big for him to ride properly) and made me push him around the garden and in the workshop for 20 minutes haha. As soon as he can ride that, he'll be off

Relaxing weekend.... Not..

The wife is out today so I'm dad taxi for the kids.

Tomorrow will mainly be spent driving across the south downs. The running club has a 100 mile point to point relay race in a couple of weeks and muggins here volunteered to drive the team about. I probably should know where I'm going.

Been on a mates stag over the weekend, took my boy swimming yesterday evening (he SCREAMED for 20 minutes but the instructor told me I can't get out) and now I'm in work. I'm very tired.

Going for a 25-30 mile bicycle ride, then hopefully get around to dropping my MTB off & finally getting my new front shock installed. I've been procrastinating over getting it done, as in the past I usually do the work myself.

Oh...and a dentist appointment. Thrilling.

Since my daughters 14th on Monday, she now has 3 guitars, so sorted out a wall mount to free up space in the room.

She plays them all regularly and is blowing me away with how quick she is picking up new stuff.
