Spent the last two days erecting a fence in the garden of house. Strange
habit we have in the Medway Towns of building houses on the
sides of mountains.

We had to carry 7 eight foot concrete posts, 10 concrete gravel
boards, 8 bags of postfix & tools down these stairs, then walk back
up each time! Could have been worse I suppose - carrying them up the
stairs!

Next week we carry decking & joists down.

My legs are all wobberly.


Might be hard work, but far worse is trying to dig holes in
clay/stones/rubble that passes for much of our garden. :-)


Ever tried the Kent speciality - clay, chalk. flint?

The hole for the post where 'Desmond' is standing took an hour to dig out,
that included the use of a 6kg SDS/breaker.
