Pottering in the Garden

Hiya Joey, we hired one of those big rotovators a couple of years back. A Camon I think it was called, nightmare of a thing to get downn all the steps with it to the garden. Bloody house is in a steep hill. Funny thing is this little mini tiller does just as good a job albeit it hasn't got the cutting width the big fella had;)

Have you tried dry walking the levels up to reduce the steepness of your garden?
 

I attempted to put together garden furniture yesterday, two foot stools went together a treat. The chairs were a different story, I screwed the seat part to one side, then screwed on the other side, straightforward enough but then the other bits didn’t fit. Took it apart, sat and studied the bits and there is no way they fit together. I was tired and thought, put it all away and try again when fresh. Packed the stuff up and left it. After an hour or so I took another look at it, then it struck me, the bits in the box where for different bits of the furniture. I looked at the other boxes and sure enough each box didn’t contain a single piece of furniture, they were mixed up through 9 boxes, I wonder how many people have been fooled by expecting each bit of furniture to be in each box.
I will put it all together tomorrow as it is to be dry, good tip is to cut the top off the Allen key so that you can put it in a drill and use it, much quicker than screwing it up by hand.

If you knew Mrs C you would know it definitely isn’t an IKEA job. She still believes that you get what you pay for and hasn’t caught on to the fact that you pay what the market will stand. She is the type of person who will see something in a shop for £100 and search around four other shops to get it for £110.
