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.


You should have taken a leaf out of the Egyptians books ie make a
make shift tray out of wood and attach a rope to it.
Makes light work of carrying it all down....two post in tray,slide
down steps ya get ma drift.


Actually that is a very good idea matey. Clever buggers them Eggwhipshuns.
Water levels, the 3,4,5 square - they used all sorts of neat ideas.

Next week we have to shift 6 metre deck boards & joists - I'm going to knock
up a temporary slide.

Cheers!
