You don't do shed roofs do you?

You just had to ask, didn't you? Sorry Kev, we can't take him anywhere: not even to apologise.

Gidday Kev, I'm very impressed with the food bags and trays, but a little disappointed that there are no sultanas or cherries. 😁

     Seriously, they ARE very good. Regards, Jeff.

Did you use tiny beads for the vegetables/ fruit ?

They were taken from a domestic water filter cartridge

All project is fabulous, but this shed just blowed my hat off... These slats, factures, impression, passion for small details and flavors... Very imaginative and atmospheric, somewhat nostalgic. I don't know why, but it reminded me book I bought for my son after week of walking, rambling and wild bivacuing on Skye Isle:

Just catching up, Kev.  Lovely detail work.  :thumbsup:

 

The vendors at our local farmers' market would be envious of your fruit & vegetable selection.

 

I'm with beefy, though.  Too many greens.  Wasn't rum good for preventing scurvy, as well?   Where did you hide the kegs? :giggle:

This is coming on fantasticly well. I love the sacks and veggies!

 

Unfortunately I still can't say the title of the thread due to repeated susceptibility to Spoonerisms!

Yes I believe these boats were also used by the local smugglers so maybe some wine barrels and a pile of silk material

Would make a change from what they get down there these days 20 blokes and a load of mobile phones just saying  :shrug:

 

Stay Safe

You are right, mental aberration on my part, normal service may be resumed :shrug:

No, I think it was to make you forget you had scurvy

Totally agree with you about not travelling Kev it those Numpty's furthest I have been in a year is back and forth to work and to to walk with the dog.  :dog:

Not heard of the up north variant only the Kent, African and the Brazilian and I am sure you have to shave all over if you catch the last one.  :whistle:

 

Stay at home and build your stash ( If only would be a nice thought only have to wait 2 years 4 month and 16 days for that but I am not really counting Honest. ) :coolio:

I knew it wasn't going to be a good day for rigging when I couldn't get the toothpaste on the brush iinvoluntary hand tremor

 

So it was down to rude & crude

 

Foam base and quay. Boat protected by clingfilm

 

 

P1110924

 

P1110925

 

All areas primed with PVA, don't forget the underside and edges

Used some old tile grout

P1110926

 

P1110928

 

stones and flagstones scribed whilst grout still damp

P1110932

 

Because the quay is set at an angle there is only a small section of wharehouse as indicated by the white sheet

P1110929

 

Trust you approve

 

Stay safe
