Dolly was pure talent, so much more than just a pair...

Throwing garden tools into the garden bin along with garden waste. I've lost a few things that way.

3" posts, bolted to concrete spurs, a couple of the concrete spurs failed in that time, but the timber posts did their job.

He's not building a fence. Also, that's not how you build a timber fence, I built a timber fence when I was 5 years old and the posts lasted 40 years.

Most people use loft roll, it works out much cheaper. Although not self supporting like the slabs would be, the membrane would support it. Get any old breathable membrane.

...and why do you think that is, come to think of it, have they ever been seen together in the same room? Maybe Nigel is the hero we need, AND the one we want?
