Post by: boosmummy on August 23, 2011, 11:39

for my plot I wanted a gate and they cost a fortune, so I built one!! And I have to say I'm very proud of myself!! and it cost me the grand total of £8:00, im going to paint it today with wood stuff hahaha.

I went to see my new plot last night but i forgot to take pictures  ::) but its bigger than my l ::)t one and it seems to be drained a bit better judging by whats growing on it, so im going down this weekend to start on it - cant wait x

A gate to be justifiably proud off.    :D   Cheers,    Tony.

Brilliant job, and the semi-circle finish at the top looks millimetre-perfect to me!  :)

I'm an oak timber framer by trade, and love it when people give woodwork a go, even more so when money saving and a good job is the key. Top marks to you. :)
