And just last week after the cladding lads had finished fitting the cladding over and across the top of the doors,

Next stage is the sides, which hopefully we can get fitted if this Sunday goes to plan and we get some more cash in the 'pot'

See ya

Well done 320psi.

Sorry can't make it and hope all goes to plan!

Hope you are not planning sleep-overs for Lightning Mate! I seem to remember he had smelly feet and snored a lot!!

320psi,

Ignore Newt - he switched the smoke off years ago........

But he's right - have a great weekend.
Your dedication should be appreciated by everyone.
