Rebuild continues

The rebuild at Metal Peterborough is coming together nicely , it's been a bit challenging due to the size of the space to fill , a 50m2 show garden is going into a 150m2 plus size space add to this no digging down and needing to keep large open spaces for audiences and the parking of a couple of cars . Then to add to this a very minuscule amount of money left in the pot to see it through. 

I like a challenge though and we've come up with all sorts of solutions . The oil drums have been invaluable we are using them as foundations for the pavilion and as a base for the oil drum feature wall . The gas pipes we used for the pavilion supports are too long ( at the show they were fixed into the ground , now they sit on top , so the first job of the day was for my dad Owen to cut the bottom flanges off and reweld them back on at the desired height. Brian went off to collect the cement and post mix needed . Ruth , Mark , myself ,and dad got started on the roof frame , when Brian got back and helped with the finishing off. It was so good to finally have a structure in the garden , while dad and Mark carried on with the roof , Brian and I got to work on the oil drum feature wall , Sarah was busy painting the inside of drums ready for planting up with our beautiful plants . It's been a really productive day even Cam and Indi pitched in and helped . What better way to finish the day off than a visit to the spa with some friends ! Arh bliss
