Keeping SWMBO happy

[mailee]

Well I finally got our gate up and SWMBO is very happy now. I had to install a set of posts too as there was none originally so it took a while, like most of the afternoon. I am happy with the results too. :wink:

Hey mailee, very nice

 

[PowerTool]

Very nice Alan - about time you did some woodwork for yourself :wink:

Looks good. What wood did you use, please?

Regards.

 

[mailee]

Well Evergreen, the wood used on the gate is Redwood although I think it is also referred to as Deal. I normally use this for softwood gates. The posts are treated timber. I am happy with it now it is up but know I will suffer with my back in the morning. (Can't do much digging with it) I agree Andrew it is about time I did some woodwork for myself and SWMBO echoes that too. I do have a computer desk and a shoe cupboard to build for our home too but that will be in the future too. Guess I will wait until 'she' complains some more. :wink: Most of the neighbours asked me what the Chinese Characters meant too. Looks like my next job is to cut that hedge again. It grows like hell!

SOMBO don't give me any grief about doing jobs around the house

I will drop all paid work and do the job she wants to keep her happy (some how she prefers me to work for paying customers)

Maybe I will finish the other half of the kitchen this christmas

Nice gate.
Its good to make the odd thing for yourself. =D>

I couldn't make one with the wide gap in the middle, our Samoyed would have her head though it to say hello to everyone passing by. :roll:

 

[mailee]

Oh Wow Dave, you have a Samoyed, I love those dogs. Many years ago I used to have a ChowChow but she died I am afraid, I just loved that dog. I have no animals at all now as I just don't have the time for one unfortunately, well unless you count the mice in the home I am trying to get rid of! Thanks for the nice comments guys.

The gate is just lovely. Well done.

Sorry to hear about the vandals. Hope you manage to sort it out.
