And so it goes on.......

l don't know why l ever select a nice little job and always presume l can do it in a day ???  Ha Ha!! So this morning  out l go and ripped out the fence line....

And dug the hole...... l then looked at all the dry crumbly earth that was meant to go BACK into the hole and decided there was no way it would be able to go in tight and compacted enough without cement to hold the fence post securely.........Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So out came a bag of cement...........Luckily we had one............

It takes 24 hours to cure strongly enough to be able to drill and screw things into the post so that pretty much shelved the plans l had for the rest of the day AND l had pulled all the fence out!!

So l had to put up a makeshift barrier and hope that holds the wallabies at bay for ...probably a week!!!! It's going to rain now for the next three days so this job will now not get finished until my NEXT days off!........ AND it's not painted either! (why didn't l paint the gate BEFORE l hung it up outside??) Ahh well.....

So instead l moved my three cherubs and their willies out in to the garden.......

 

l like it.....As long as the greenery grows up around them a bit! It's quite Victorian really....

l put it in my pond garden which is ablaze with red at the moment!

And then l put up the ornate corners in the courtyard. Love it!

The other gateway is too wide to get the whole gate in the photo but l love this one too!

Then the rain came.............

So I repaired the cast iron ones inside as well.... (well.....l HOPE l repaired them!) We shall see today when l take the clamps off)

So all in all a successful day!
