Aye its looking canny Al - it`ll be BIG HUGS and KISSES for Granda on Christmas Day , nowt better Eh

Just hope you were wearing your mask when using the jigsaw ,the sawdust on the garage door and spiderwebs tells its own story of how much you have been cutting

 

[Charlton]

thats the tidy end of the garage

 

[TC]

Looking good, Alan......but you\'d best have a word with the site manager - it\'s not long before the handover date, now :exclam:

Will you be having a \"topping out\" ceremony?

 

[John]

Did you find the Shrink tube you wanted Alan

 

[Charlton]

not yet John, nice to meet you in the flesh, will do what you suggested and try an eletrical shop. Thanks for the lesson about rods today.

TC had a right bollocking off the site manager for slacking, went for a haircut this morning and then for a natter with John and Tim at Frasers, had to put in a few extra hours tonight to catch up. You know with major construction works they always run over time and budget. Will have to get the finger out.
Hopefully all will be ready for the big day and there will certainly be a topping out ceremony

works slowed down a bit, the old arthritis taking its toll, hands cramping up a bit. John might not need the shrink tube, the place i thought i might need it for, where the flag poles go through the turretts, i thought there might be a few little gaps to cover where the eight pieces come together at the point, have to say i excelled myself and they look alright.

 

[Charlton]

getting there

 

[Mike.Haley]

There is going to be one really happy little girl at Christmas.
Good work Alan, Do you need a safety manager on this job?

 

[willywetegg]

Looking good Alan, when can we put our order\'s in lol.

Jim.

If you ever need shrink tube for any other models Alan, give this lad a call, he\'s dirt cheap and holds a massive stock of sizes and colours:

Mike, if it gets any taller will ahve to think about staging and a safety officer. Willy, think it will take some time for my hands to recover. Cheers for that Rob.
