I Went on one of them night school courses for 9/10 weeks 1 night a week 3 hours a night to learn the basics of bricklaying i enjoyed the course and decided to have a go at building a wishing well i got the scale wrong and spoilt our view :no:

 

Then decided to build a Gothic Folly in the shape of a Ruined Castle with turrets i had to build it double skinned to carry the turrets and the coping stones i found in a reclaimed yard i will add a link to photobucket let me know your thoughts views Good or Bad i have got skin thicker then a Rinos Botty :lol: No offence taken We love it

 

I Am a bit limited at wot i can do or the speed i can do it due to Spondylosis of the spine and neck and arthritis of the joints and fingers pleased with the out come next decided to build an open plan living room with chimney breast still a project in progress when the sun comes out again i will crack on and finish it off the shell is up again double skinned all this has been achieved out of Rubbish skips well most of it

 

Even the windows in the open plan living room where in a solid oak front door out of a skip i just knocked the door and asked if i could have it :good:

 

The stone church windows are off ebay £12.50p each i made them look old with watered down masenery paint the same with the stone arch walkway just aged up with paint in water

 

My Favorite part is the Gothic gate off a local listed building dated 1765 knocked down to make way for a new tesco and bypass :no: CRIMINAL In my eyes !!!

 

I Also love the Marble Virgin Mary off a demolished chapel dated 1893 if you flick throw my photos you will see it next to my silver birch bonsai Hope you like it all the best Nick

BE CAREFUL!

 

English Heritage will now come along and list this as an Ancient Monument and you will have coachloads of unwashed trippers coming along and demanding a tour!

It may not be the Samba but still very very cool and it is a great reg no'

 

I have a 1972 1200 bug that i spent a good few years doing up, but i never use it, so it is going to be sold in the summer time. It is gorgeous, but it deserves to be used and that just isn't going to happen with me :(

the bug is the same age as me, but looking a hell of a lot better I have to say. I shall get some photos done after i clear the garage out. That is a job i am putting off until better weather, which might spare me until July or August....

 

An ice cream van is rock and roll

Nearly right with the user name, the lab part is my dogs (well 2 out of the 3, the others a spaniel), the staff bit is my nick name.
