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

( dam your only an hour away from me I was looking forward to coming down to your place and helping out
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......
Build looks likes it coming on well, best of luck,
regards
