Hi Dan

Hi Dan

Looking good.

Whilst building your QT, would you be kind enough to cost the materials.

As this would be helpful when comparing the cost of a brick and fibreglass against the pre-made free standing unit

No need for the knock knock at 3 am then :D ( dam your only an hour away from me I was looking forward to coming down to your place and helping out :wink:

Are you going to the south east show ?

Regards


Andy

Hiya Danny,

Can't get over your neighbour mate......What a Grumpy S***


Why don't you direct the waste towards his garden ?
I know I'd be very tempted...... :D

Build looks likes it coming on well, best of luck,

regards
Capt'n
