Turning GREEN ...

Just hillarious!
Totally enjoyed reading your blog. So amusing.

I thought I was the only one who apply tape on slippers lol lol Join the club! lol lol lol

Great job, TT ♪
I wish I were as talented as you. I guess I'll just have to give it a try :o)

Thanks Tommy ..
amazing what you can do with a hand-saw, some pots of paint ... and a few rolls of sellotape .. Lol. ;o)

You're so funny TT ♬
I love sellotape. They are quite versatile :p

What a team! Hope you get to sunbath too.

All that work is SO impressive Terra . . . well done you. Hope you're putting your feet up now!

Hi Linda ..
No opportunity yet for me to sunbathe !

Thank you, Sheila ..
No rest time yet ...
... maybe I'll have a relaxing winter !

I can't believe you've done all this yourself ! I don't think I could have done it ! It all looks brilliant Terra. Well done ! I just hope the sun continues to shine so that Conker and Truffles can sit in the sun !

Hi Rose..
thank you ...
... to be honest, when I look at the photos I can't believe we did it either. Lol.
Yes ... some more warm days would be good ...

Lovely blog terra, and the boys helped to, they look exhausted, hehe

I've been waiting for this blog Terra! Excellent job...but 'Gardening Slippers'? lol! You're worse than me for inappropriate attire! ;))

Oh Terra thats classic, I wish I'd seen you sawing away in the carpark, very handy couple of stools you have there too, you sure are good at the woodwork and your slippers look good for a few more tasks yet, lol..
Conker and Truffle look mega impressed with their new pen and judging by their pose afterwards, typically male they just had to have a nap, lol....
Great blog and pics Terra..

Great blog Terra....:>)

Another great blog Terra, very funny and extremely enjoyable.

I just love your blogs Terra. They are very entertaining.
Nice pictures of Conker and Truffles and your quality control bird. All that work in your slippers:-) Well done.

☆☆☆☆☆ Gold Stars for Team Terra ★★★★★

what an organisation!

Clever dogs ? ? and ? and ? and team leader ?

well done xxx

Terra, I forgot to mention, I note you get your timber from Bee & Kew ...... I assume that as it sounds like a gardening store, GOYers get discount there.... lol. I also chuckled when you cut your timber up in the car park, did anyone stop and chat to you, or offer to help?

Thanks Sue, Karen, Sue, Moti, Klahanie, and Pam .. for the comments and 'likes' ...
Those gardening slippers have walked and worked many miles ..

Alan ..
When I was sawing up my wood slats in the car park, I did wonder if other customers would walk across with their newly purchased timber ... for me to cut to size ;o)

Owww well done TT.....

Brilliant blog Terra ... you have worked so hard with great results ... now sit back and relax! :o)

Terra, you could have made a few bob and put it in next years "gardening kity" ...... lol

Thanks Holly :o)

Hi Shirley ... thank you ... can't relax yet ..
I spent all Sunday dismantling a big shed !

Hello Tim
Thank you ... very kind words.
I'm pleased with the new dog-run.
Finding it easy to use and it blends in well with the rest of the garden.

Terra ... please don't overdo it or I shall tell Joanne ... lol!!

Brilliant job TT and super blog as ever, I just had to smile at your ingenuity - cutting up your wood in the car park on ancestral footstools - superb, You could have charged a bob a job to other customers!! As to your gardening slippers they have certainly served you well so far, You just have to look at the wonderful job you (and Team Terra of course!) have achieved in them to see that - magic slippers I say.
Dog Run - Gold star standard.

Hi Shirley ..
I am sooo grateful to Joanne ... her special advice meant I could use my shoulder with a lot less pain ... without her I would not have been able to even start on this work ...

Thanks Neena ..
yes, if money gets really short, I'll set up a wood-cutting service in Bee and Kew's car park. Lol.
My speciality is that I take extra care to choose to use the timber parts with no large knots !

Brilliant blog as always Terra and a fantastic job well done ! I love the green colour paint you used , blends in beautifully with the garden and looks so fresh. The 'boys' look really chuffed with their new pen too. :-)

Hello Nancy
Thanks for visiting my blog ..
Yes, I'm very pleased with the paint colour ..

... and my canine helpers approve too .. ;o)

Very cleverly done. I like the green slats too, blends in nicely with the garden.

Hi Paul ..
Thanks... the paint was being sold at a special bargain price, so I risked it and bought 4 tins. Good thing the colour turned out so well !

Brilliant blog Terra... would love to have seen you cutting up you planks in'Bee&Kew' car park....I laughed so loud OH had to come and have a look, mad hgim smile too!!Love the colour of your paint...what is it?
Thanks for making us smile, but you've done a brill. job....go on treat yourself to some new slippers, fo a job well done!!:-)))))))))

Hello Val ..
The paint is Maple Leaf ...
a lovely name for a pretty colour ..
glad my Bee and Kew antics made you both laugh :o)

My American pen-friend sent me some new slippers ... she is very kind !

Hello TT :) You've been busy ! I like the green colour and I'm sure Conker and Truffle approve too ...
I like the colour of your car. I'm glad you could fit everything in.
Your plants are looking healthy and growing well :o)

Hello Hywel ..
Thanks.
I'm pleased you like my colour choices. :o)

What a team. Brilliant work,photos and commentary. I'm off to bed laughing.

Thank you Scotsgran ...
we hope you had a good night's sleep
... we're glad you like the blog.

Marvellous the things you can do TT! The dog run looks a really professional job as well! Well done! :-))

Thank you Balcony ...
The dog run is working smoothly ... I'm very glad I put so much effort into it ... will be such a help in the winter too.

Very entertaining, TT. Before I retired I had a small car and often had to adapt DIY materials to fit in so I know what it's like. Recently I went to the same store you use to buy wallpaper and paint for indoor decorating but had to get it home on the bus - they said they didn't have anything to put the wallpaper rolls in until I asked to see the Manager (holding a long queue up!) who suddenly produced a wallpaper bag! Even so I nearly took several other elderly persons out as I board the bus :)

Your hard work has paid off, it looks great. If I tried to keep Millie in a run it would have to be very high as she is an excellent jumper :)

Hello Gee ..
Yes, I can imagine Millie being able to jump high over wooden fence panels. When I was discussing dog-runs with CottageKaren, we decided that Willow the Labrador Retriever would probably decide to chew the wood to give herself a route of escape... Lol.

I like your wallpaper story .. but it does occur to me that a bus would have been long enough to accommodate my 8ft wooden panels without needing cutting !

A bus would have coped, TT, so long as all the passengers sat on the other side :)

Late again, Terra,but better than never, ! :o) Wow,how hard you have worked,and I love the colour you have chosen..glad your shoulder allowed you to do it :o)
I can just picture you in Bee and Kew car park..!Lol I bet some thought it was for a new series of 'Candid camera' ha ha..well done,it looks great :o)x

Hi Sandra ...

Hi Homebird ...
Thanks. The Stanley angle gadget has been very useful ... I used it for lots of sawing projects and I cut angles on the ends of some of the horizontals ... it works very well.

Yes... waterproof slippers are essential ! ;o)

Well done, another wonderful blog TT.

Hi Dotty ... thank you :o)
