new 36X12 37gal project...finished!!!!

[Bahney]

due to the flooding in my area i haven't really been able to do much today i had planned to sort out the under gravel jets and go get some cheap paint brushes to use with the cement. so instead i just had to finish off some of all of the carving an do a dry fit.

i will get the first layer of cement on this weekend, i still have some tweeking to do on the top canopy and 1 or 2 pieces to put onto the back but other then that any constructive criticism is welcome

ok the more i looked at it the more i wanted to change it. and lets be honest if i am ever going to change anything...now is the time!

and this is what i have ended up with, a lot better i think and i am a lot more happy with it, just one or two small bits to finish off, a couple of rocks here or there and i need to make the three pieces less snug, they go together at the moment like a vice...i measured too good! so when i have a layer or two of cement on them they will never fit because of the extra width the cement will give the pieces, other then that, she is ready for cement i think

ohh and i have included a pic of the flood i was talking about

i am in Hull, Yorkshire, we got hit pretty bad by it, some places got it a lot worse, some 20yr old lad in hull died when he got caught down a drain, so it was pretty bad, i have some more pics if you want to see

Dear god, I'm looking at that petrol station and glad I don't have to drive in UK. 97p a liter is ungodly. Last time I was there it was 70p a liter and I thought that was bad.
