Hi Chris another great job👍 you're very skilled 👍🙏

[@TheCountryCottageGardener]

I try my best pal. Thanks for watching on your Saturday night 👍👍

[@djfirkins]

Nice job! I do admire your smart approach to dismantling and re-assembling section-by-section, so that the wisteria stayed in place. 🤓👍

[@TheCountryCottageGardener]

Thanks for watching another video and for your kind words 👍👍

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

🤣 A few choice words with that one corner. It always seems to be the way, on a job, there is always one section that is a right pain!
Great video 👍

[@TheCountryCottageGardener]

Thanks for watching pal. That wisteria is really behind compared to yours at the moment. 🌼🌼

You went about that in a clever way mate. Your clients must love you. You have created a great lifestyle. I expect you have kept the waste for your new wood burner.

[@TheCountryCottageGardener]

Thanks pal. I have a nice varied work balance. I think my clients like my work. I keep getting invited back so that's good 😂

Another excellent video, if you get board with the gardening you would be great as a joiner 👍

[@TheCountryCottageGardener]

Your too kind pal. I do a bit of wood working on the side with making furniture and home decor items from oak whiskey barrels. Love working with wood

Another grand piece of workmanship Sir Chris 👏 👌 🙌. I see that you have given the Beard a Spring trim.😂🧔. Regards Jim from J.S.G.S N.IRELAND.

That was interesting Chris, nice one. You have a large skill set, have you worked in the building/carpentry trade before becoming a gardener?

[@TheCountryCottageGardener]

Hi James. Thanks for the kind comment. No before self employment I worked in sales mostly. Although I do have my second small business turning oak whiskey barrels into home decor and furniture items. I love working with wood. Thanks for watching 👍

relaxing as always, bet trhe work wasn't though

[@TheCountryCottageGardener]

Wasn't that to much of a bother really. Moving materials and that one corner was the hardest bits. Started at 9:30 done by 2:40. Thanks for watching 👍
