Nice one Andy. If I ever get around to building my new shed, I'll give you a shout.

I'm sure Mrs. Raider is well chuffed as well.

Day 67

Back to the real interesting building. I have missed this so much. Still working from the bow back here is a little more progress.

Wow, great handyman skills Andy, your wife must be very happy with that. The Imara is coming along nicely too, great to see you were able to get back to it so quickly.

[Guest]

Thanks Joe. She did express her opinion but didn't expect less so I didn't get any special treatment when I finished.

Me joiner too (retired!) and I would be well chuffed to have produced a summer house like yours Andy....Really nice 'On a fag packet.' design, as we used to call out of the head builds. Top work, but I've noticed a grave omission. You have forgotten to fix a couple of strong hooks in those concrete post, so you can sling a hammock across!...Yes, I know....we tried it once and kept falling out!!!!!!!

The Imara just gets better and better.

Thanks Ron. If I had known you were a chippy you could have give me a hand mate. I built it in 7 days in the blazing sun with no shade. it killed me, was torcher I can tell you. Normally I enjoy projects like this but I didn't enjoy this one one bit mate.

Another delay on the IMARA.

How STUPID of me to presume that Ting Ting didn't want a laminate floor in the summer house. I cant believe I didn't know. Well its done now and I will be back at it full bore tomorrow.

Day 72 - 74

At this point I decided to complete the mast and all fittings. This is now in place and I think looks ok.
