As I said last week, it certainly sucks when you have to repair something that was damaged accidentally...
Thank goodness Jason is handy because it would've been a pain (as well as embarrassing) to have someone else repair my dreadful mistake.
As it turned out the damage was not so bad. The post was still rock solid in the ground (Mr D builds them to last) but reversing into the gate while it was closed caused the post to split. Lucky it was something that could be repaired.
With some glue, some nails and Sikaflex, Jason was able to put it all back together again. He's done a terrific job. Mr D was kind enough to drop by to see if he could help when he heard what I had done...(the grapevine is alive and well in our neighbourhood) and was very impressed with Jason's repair job. Mr D may hire him as an apprentice if Jason ever decides to chuck in his day job...
With a bit of paint on the post, no one will ever know...unless you read the blog!

Yes, and remember Anita the blog is being archived for posterity! No secrets anymore :) I am so not surprised Jason managed to fix it so well x
ReplyDeleteThat's lucky! Yes, like Sarah said the whole scenario it recorded forever!
ReplyDeleteI think you were lucky to get away with such minimal damage, I would have thought the gate would've been damaged more. Great repair job Jason!
ReplyDeleteI think it's safe to say,(despite a repair well done) Jason's day job is safe. He could never afford "The French Car" on an apprentice wage.
ReplyDeleteJob well done Jason, gosh he moves quickly doesn't he. Could show Legoman a thing or too, we lived for eight years in our last house without a bedroom door knob or latch! mel x
ReplyDeleteAnother star in Jason's crown! It's going to look as good as new.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fence! Good job Jason!
