Dug a new soak-away, old 1930's pipe absolutely solid with gubbins, smashed it and removed debris, laid new pipe down with a good fall on it onto rubble etc.
This was Sunday actually, but I've just noticed the thread.
I was cream crackered, I can tell you.

very impressive, did you built it round an existing pot or freeform?
I cheated and built it around one of them tough plastic gorilla tubs 
. Cut a rough angle onto all the boards as the tub tapers a bit at the bottom and then stapled through the tub into the boards to hold in place, then used the hessian to strengthen it up. It would probably be better with some strips of stainless steel or bronze or something.

They belong to Chep and always will, they don't sell them or give them away.

About as illegal as recording off the radio, or going 31 in a 30 zone.
Love the job looks really good. Love it when someone can make something out of anothers rubbish.
Feel like I am finally getting there - Painted back yesterday and did a few other outstanding jobs -
Been out today and wife ordered some Vynal for floor - Ordered two LED wall light's and got some trunking.
Needs another coat of paint on outside and alarm magnets fitted to door and can have a sit down listening to 50's and 60's on Wifi Digital radio.
