It deserves another wash. I'd like to see those blue highlights…  ???

I thought they were coming along nicely.

Certainly different to od’ed 21oz though.

I was going to try and hold out on washing it till I pass it on. Depending on how work goes it might need a couple to get it clean enough to pass it on…

[spitfiredealer]

So today the jacket went with us to pick up a millstone to go into the path we are building.

pretty big and heavy old thing.

I love going to these reclamation yards as there all kinds of stuff to look at

There happened to be a renowned cafe nearby called The Super Sausage Cafe so stopped there for a cuppa and breakfast

We have to wait for a crane to get the stone where we need it in the garden. So will get some more pics when we actually lay it.

That mug is sublime…

[spitfiredealer]

haha I knew you would like it.

Jacket working hard today

The path we are laying is coming along.

That looks so damn good. The path is nice too.

So we managed to get millstone in on Thursday. It was a lot of effort. We could only get the it craned to the top of the garden so had to then move it on a pump truck and boards down the hill! Which was tricky seeing as it weighed 600kg

So I went for a look inside the castle today.

It's hard to actually make it out from the outside because of the scaffolding but it's a proper castle I promise

We are actually going to be laying york stone inside this in a few weeks. Which is going to be pretty cool and should hopefully raise our profile as a business.

that's the ceiling above the pool area. All oak.

This is the cellar which we will also be laying York stone in.

and a few shots of the outside

I have been wearing the jacket everyday and it's been taking a beating. I am hoping that under all the dust and dirt is some actual fading!!

How much longer have I got this for @neph93 ?

[neph93]

Glorious tour leg mate. The idea is a month at a time so sadly your time is up. You’ve certainly left your mark on the jacket though so it is time well spent. Looks like I’m next. I’ll pm you shortly.

[spitfiredealer]

Ok mate.

I will finish the week off in it and get it washed this weekend.
