i thought my mate kev would have been doing the majority of the work but he hasnt.
i have !
i mean he did the basic framework for me cos i'm crap with angles ....but the rest i have done myself,singlehandedly working through the night whilst the babies in bed.

walkabout baby monitors are a wonderful invention ya know :wink:

I have a pop top roof coming :)
well awaiting collection (thankyou nice man with pretty green mk1 :)- I will be cooming oop North very soon to see you)

I'm glad my man left home because whilst he was here i kinda left things like this to him,mans work like.....
