Scored myself some work!!

After 6 months of doing nothing more than a spot of gardening & using a computer & telescope, yep! Finally landed some work....nothing permanent, putting up a fence for starters. Start wed. or thurs. next week. Only about a weeks work though (possibly longer) ButI know what this guy's like....10 projects on the go at once so I'm hoping it leads onto other things! He's the local crash repairer here.

You little beautyyyyy!!

Look out muscles....'cos your going to be very sore soon!!

You might have to spend a few hours a day doing some manual work to get your body back up to speed!

Onya mate, I'm happy for you.

LOL Ken! I reckon the first 10 holes I dig for the up-rights will get me up to speed! Theres 40 odd to dig apparently.

I may have energy enough to make the last hole 6X6X3 & slowly lay down in it as I'm dying!

Asifence, If you take your time & only dig 1/2 a hole per post, it will guarantee you twice the work. L.

Why is this in the "Beginners Start Here" thread ?

Is this your first job

Pity you're not near here, I could give you a weeks work general outside house maintainance and painting.
Not driving to Lostock are you, could stop on the way home.
