Our garden

Roverowner · 16th July 2011, 14:53

Been doing a few jobs around the garden. The gardening I leave to the other half

We have a double garage from the 30s which is great. I´ve always wanted a compressor though, so yesturday I bought a decent size one and today I´ve got it all working. I´ve housed it in the recess at the side of the garage. The bins were housed there before. Power from the inside of the garage to the outside wall just above the compressor. I´m going to box it in so that I can lock it away. Only the reel of line to screw to the wall above it.

A few years ago we were over to the UK and I picked up a couple of letter boxes that I always fancied having on the corner of the garage. Finally got around to putting them up. One is the usual ER II version, the other is an Edward VIII from 1907. Pleased with the result. The photo was taken from our kitchen window and as the pre-prod was sttod there looking quite good, I took one of that aswell. Any other interesting garden things??

On the road from Auchlochan down to the town there is one on a telegraph pole. I think it´s still there

(it was that one that gave me the idea of getting a couple)

When you get to the top of the hill there are some fairly new houses on the right. It´s on a tele pole opposite, before the bridge (I´m a mind of useless information

)
