Me:D

Hard work but I got there in the end.

Before (http://www.freewebs.com/tonysoprano/gardenbefore.htm)

After (http://www.freewebs.com/tonysoprano/gardenafter.htm)

First shot was taken with my phone ( HERE (http://www.samsungd600.com/) ) which I used to think was a good quality shot. The second was taken with The Current Mrs Bean's new camera ( HERE (http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114081&highlight=which+camera) & HERE (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0506/05060202samsung_pro815.asp)). I plumped for the Samsung in the end (price/functions).

Just a few plants to sort out and a bit of junk to remove to the tip and we'll be BBQ and Felinfoel city. I found a piece of iron buried which I am going to take into work and shotblast to give it a clean. It looks like part of the old bandstand they used to have in the local park but until it's cleaned I can't really tell.

Ornamental value should be cool !!!

Job well done there, Beanie. Nice place to nap in a lawn chair on a Sunday afternoon (old guy thought). By the looks of the before picture, might want to have that piece of iron checked to see if it's Roman.

Chance would be a fine thing Tom.

My friends just bought a fixer upper house on about an acre that looked like your before pic as no one lived there for 7 years and yard never maintained.
They found a car in the brush.:D Major task. Asked if I wanted to help?
I politely responded, "H-E-L-L NO!!"
Good job, bud.:cool:

Whilst walking down the South beach at Dinbych y Pysgod the one day a couple of VERY tasty looking girls came over to me and said I had the body of a Greek God.

I naturally smiled and thanked them for their comment.

As I walked off I heard them snigger and say :-

" Aye. Demis Roussos ".

It all started to go downhill after that memorable incident.:rotflmao:

This is how I do my weightlifting.

Nice work Beano - next you'll be telling us she was sitting on your shoulders the whole time you were cleaning up that yard.


p.s.

I tell you something mate. That would have been easier than the situation I was in when that photo was taken. We were at one end of Weston Super Mare promenade and the car was at the other. Megan bach then said she didn't want to walk anymore. Carrying an extra couple of stone over a couple of miles is no fun I can assure you.

Especially with me in my current state.:rotflmao:

The look of distress is because as me Mam went to take the photo Megan decided she was going to move about on my shoulders.

Hence the expression as if someone is slamming my plums in a door.:rotflmao:

I could use a roller for the garden

I was wondering whether he chose to ignore this comment Smurfy because we're out on the lash on Saturday in Cardiff for the big game. He's probably worried in case The Current Mrs Bean gets to the S.A before him.

We'll post some photo's when they are developed. I bought a couple of disposable cameras today;)

And just in case us pair of lardies are stood together for a snap I got the cameras with the old "wide angled lenses":D

Would trade that for what I had to endure on a holiday to the Grand Canyon. Me and the wife is walking down the canyon and I kept reminding here we have to walk back up so let's not go to far. Keep saying those words to her and she keeps walking to about halfway down. Time to go back up and guess who I'm carrying on my back? 140 lbs. of wife! Stopped to talk to those guys that take the mules down and they said for $300 the park rangers will come get us. I kept walking with my true love on my back. Got to the top and did actually recieve a round of applause from the people who passed us on the way up.
