SECOND INVASION OF WILLIAM THE CONCRETER

I have discovered what makes William happy; it’s a delivery where there is no concrete left over. Surely there must be some sort of scheme for concrete left-overs – a channel tunnel perhaps?
Unfortunately Paul’s pump has died so I have had to get another contractor in – this one rather larger like a giant angle lamp, and rather more expensive. Pete and Richard helped out and it all went smoothly. The shuttering for my curved patio made up by thin slats of timber managed to survive the weight of concrete, and the nightmare of concrete going off in the wrong place did not materialize.

Richard has also built the fence for my neighbour after we knocked the last remaining wall of the old bungalow down – fortunately in the right direction.
