Hi all we have built a garden lighthouse today.Did our head sin as we couldnt find anything on how to build one,so it was all trial and error and it as finally taken us 6 hours to build.We have put a light in it and if i am still awake when its dark i will take a picture but if not i will ask me julie.
It did take two as the pieces of wood did keep falling down as i was trying to screw them together. Bless her in between housework,sorting our son out,dinner and tea out she still helped me.Hope you like it :))))
I have now added a night picture of it lit up hope they are ok.

Hi Stickitoffee thankyou i really like that idea of the name the leaning tower of south yorkshire oh yes.I have been out now and straightened it so its not leaning no more lol.:)))))))

Couldnt resist it!! Maybe re-name it 'the non-leaning tower of Sth. Yorkshire!!'
