They trashed my garden
« on: July 08, 2007, 09:45:40 AM »
Only joking ... just got your attention :)
I have been woring very hard this past few weeks re-furbishing McCoubrey's Irish Pub and replacing the rustic fencing in the Fuscia Garden
In that area there is a picnic table which I made some years ago from scrap timber. It had seen better days, but I thought it was still ok :)
Wonderwoman brought three beers for me and Jim who was helping. She and I sat at the table and Jim came over to join us. He is rather larger than I am. When he sat down the darned thing collapsed and my beer disappeared all round me. It was hilarious because nobody was hurt, just surprised (or maybe shocked)
The table has been relegated to the bonfire :)

Looks like an interesting place.  I remember sitting down in a lawn chair at my pond-opening party ten years ago.  The lawn chair had sat in the sun for a number of years and should have been retired long ago.  None the less we still had it and as I plunked myself down the brittle plastic supports exploded with a pop and I went straight down to the ground, much to the amusement of my friends.

Good luck with the refurbishing.  I don't drink beer but I sure would like to visit that place some day.

I think after that scare, we all need to sit down and drink a cold one!

Shame on you!  ;)

I LOVE your garden.  Love love love it!  It is so fun to find new uses for old things.  I have had my eye on an old pot bellied stove to use as a chiminea on the patio, but your little corner fireplace sparks all sort of ideas for me!
