    I think that was the only time I used it! But worth it. It's packed away now but it's one of those tools that will sit there for ages and never get used but then be very useful one day

    Best to get as much done before the hot weather next week. The floors are going to come up nice.

    Floors are something I have attempted once and now leave to the experts!
    Will look great when it is all done.

    I was tempted to do the floors but it's taking to long to finish everything plus the price it pretty good.

    Its 36.4 degrees while I'm gardening :/

    Managed to get most of that tree removed. The weather was bad, decent breeze though.

    Got a flat on the trailer so that wasted some time.

    Going to do it again tomorrow, hopefully i will have most of it done.

    Excellent work. Makes me feel better to see all tne mess at the beginning of the thread. The bathroom looks like mine. That wallpaper with the pots and kettles looks very familiar. I think we had something similar at ine point. :oops: Painting looks great and kitchen spectacular. Looking forward to more photos. How's the cat? ;)

    Besides the thorns, the tree had grown around metal wiring which made it so much more difficult. Their was also a retractable clothes line under it.

    Half the backyard is concrete, I didn't realise it went to the back fence as it was covered by about 20cm of sand for a few meters.

    I relaxed before lunch as I'm still sore and have about 100 scratches now.
