I look forward to seeing what your cunning mind can come up with and then I can "borrow" it for my somewhat future river project, just like I'm going to "borrow" your door idea...... ;-)Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-57036865839708355412016-05-16T10:12:23.910+01:002016-05-16T10:12:23.910+01:00I fully intended to comment on this Andy when I fi...I fully intended to comment on this Andy when I first saw it, but didn't. Excellent work, as usual. I especially like your pond and will be "borrowing" that idea, although as I have no resin, I may have to come up with a cunning alternative...
