Lamposts and Fences!!

We had an old lamppost propped up precariously at our side gate. With the strong gusty Spring winds the poor old thing could take it no more and finally it fell over and broke. Glass, holder,everything! A lesson to be learnt to FINISH jobs and NOT leave things half done maybe????
ANYWAY.....All was NOT lost and l resurrected it to make a far more fabulous cheerful lamp post which l love WAY more then the previous rather boring traditional one!!!!
l used a round glass bowl l had bought from the local $2 shop a few years ago and a big flat candlestick holder l bought last week. A squirt of strong two pack glue and a bit of silicone and Voila!
l love it!!
The rest of the weekend was spent painting ANOTHER 50 pickets!
And setting string lines to make sure they are all straight!
The previous lot seem to look ok!!!
And admiring it from afar! Halfway done.............half to go!!
