I eventually found your site and are living the dream through you and your team, I'm going through cancer treatment now and heading for palliative care, my point is you and the boys bring me so much joy and excitement, I live your achievements and feel one of the team. Thanyou for bringing me along for the ride, be safe, I will be watching as long as this vessel allows. Thanks mate cheers ( in a aussie accent of course)

[@robertporter6507]

I agree, the mason is extremely good at his work. Hire the man Dan to fix all the wall issues. You stated many time how much you hated doing it. In addition, hiring him to finish the wall repairs will free you up to finish the rest of the roof so you can make it waterproof before winter hits. Think about it, it's a smart play. Have a nice time with your boys! Cheerio!

[@martinsportfoto2423]

Fully agree, if that is possible to arrange, it would be a very good move - you can focus on stuff you enjoy doing instead.
