You know, some people, if they had a nice seating area like this, they might be tempted to spend August Bank Holiday weekend actually sitting in it. You could read the paper with a nice cup of tea, eat lunch al fresco with some Pimms (or beer depending on which Doran you are). It's a nice spot to watch the sunset whilst eating bar-b-qued foodstuffs. That's a good way to spend a fine Saturday at the end of August.
But no, this is what the Dorans do with Bank Holiday weekends, they put up fences! I was doing the creosoting and holding the other end of various things. MTM was doing the clever fiddly bits with saw, spirit level and a screw gun.
Oh well, at least there was a mug of tea. Drinking it on a building site isn't quite as relaxing. Maybe one day ...
That's the trouble with bank holidays. If the weather is bad we grumble that we can't sit out in the garden. If it's good we spend it doing jobs instead!
