 Hubby has to take apart the old one↓

 

 My younger brother dropped more stuff round from my dads.

Some of it is not fit for purpose!

 I found a nice picture of my older son↓

 I ordered a skip for this week.

My younger brother offered to take the stuff away for the same price of the skip.

I turned him down, as the tips are shut for the time beginning, and I didn't want the stuff just dumped somewhere where it wasn't supposed to go...

Nice pie and veg for the evening meal↓

 I looked outside the front garden and saw someone has stepped on the wet step, I just had finished painting!

 

 

 The third coat has to be applied tomorrow.
