Won it on eBay..was£142 including a cover for my knackered pillion seat ( it flew off on the -a47) so I thought it was a good opportunity to get some gel inserts innit for the missus.
Money's ok building for a living but I'll never be rich. This week dug and concreted a footing, then laid over 1000 bricks ( all level work as it was a 9 inch curving wall in Flemish garden wall bond), then repaired the adjacent wall and topped the lot in tile creasings and ridge tile copings..very labour intensive, took me four days and a charged £650 labour. Bear in mind stuff like I gotta run a van, outlay for stuff like that mixer was £250, disc cutter with a diamond blade £700 etc etc..
Still love being me own bloke, couldn't work for anyone else been doing this too long, but it ain't easy, especially now I'm older. Knackered today lol...
