Can't wait to see some of these setups when they're finished 😊

As i've just finished the last 'leg', I thought i'd stick this on here too. Still got to work out how i'm attaching the lights to it but it's certainly getting there...

Used 75cm wide paper on a long roll. The section from the top of the 'legs' to the silver foil top on one 2m length then cut down to size after painting, the legs on another bit then cut to size after painting, then stuck the led string around the edge  Took a while drawing it all out before going over with paint but quite pleased with it.

I'm lucky enough to live next door to a sign writer, so I got her to print the letters as vinyl cut our stickers, and I'm planning on applying them to plexi-glass/perspex then mounting that on top of our fence/on the roof of the neighbour's shed so it has a horizon style appearance. 

I also started fixing some of my signage in position yesterday, and erected the first flags. I've been meaning to name my garden bar for two years, so pleased to finally get a sign on it. 

 

Et voila... 

Lettering will go on top of that flat roof for the weekend.

The Halloweens (Vaccines side-project) have recorded a live set for Glastonbury.

It will be nice to have some new sets to watch along with old ones this week

You've ruined everything!! 😁

Just discovered our gazebo bit the dust after a party last October so have had to order a cheapo one at the last minute.

Also got more flags to add, some extra fairy lights, garden candles, hang some bunting, put the sign on the roof top, put up the gazebo, put up the tent, drag the Glasto trolley in, put booze on the optics and stick out the mini-versions of Cineramageddon, the ribbon tower and the Pyramid and then wire them, plus a final cut of the grass this afternoon.

I should deserve a beer by the end of the afternoon I'd say?

Yep likewise ... today of all days my neighbour decides he’s going to build a shed and the painters and decorators decide it’s time to electric sand my windows ... peace is shattered I’m in a first floor flat

Signs have started popping up and the stone circle is in place here. There's still plenty to do yet but I think we'll be ready in time for the gates opening!

It's a nightmare isn't it, when I eventually get a garden I will never ever take it for granted that's for sure.

That stone circle is quite something. Is it going to become a permanent feature? 

If it was mine I reckon it would purely because I’d not be arsed to lug them out after all the effort of getting them in!

Based on my wife's initial reaction i'm thinking I'm going to have to bring myself to be arsed to lug them back into place at some point on Tuesday! 🤣
