You need a break 😀😀 Fingers crossed it goes smoothly at least for the next few weeks. Look after your back Al, and hope you are feeling a lot better Ana.

Thanks! What a great name for it…I’ll get some signs made and advertise it locally as a kids attraction!

I remember one of those pop artists poured a 220 liter barrel of polyurethane down the steps of a museum (I don't know if the museum bought that work of art though) I think your poop is definitely a better piece.

Oh my it looks like your mound of concrete will soon become a small hill right there, requiring dirt to cover over it. It will be your next landscaping project. Building projects always require creative solutions don't they! Hugs and best wishes!!

That’s awful Alastair - can you take action against the company or the driver?

I'm hoping they'll make a plan and one day we'll wake up to polished concrete floors and our new modern art piece elsewhere...but I'll guess we'll see. No sign of any concrete polishers or Mr Complicados as yet today!
