Re: DIY with function over finesse!!

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Re: DIY with function over finesse!!
Unfortunately we were only able to get 3 hours on the project today as my mate had to attend a callout this morning. However we did get the first quarter of the roof planked:
- Tongue and Groove planking
