Hi everybody.
Luckily we installed a stand pipe for our temp. water supply and could use a BBQ for our cooking, but the missus wanted a fresh water swim.
We needed some sort of access to the small river running past the house - No, villa!
Who to build it? I then had a brain wave. I'll call my good friend, the builder, Idu Chukumupp. You might well recall he built 'The Clacker', the pub in the inlet where the model of my tugboat ended up.
He agreed to come over and do the work. he arrived within a couple of days and brought my old buddies, the painters Meekan N'doodeelyd and Takdee Broosh N'Payunt.
I showed them around...
"Hey, honkey, dis am some pleeas you am got here" I thanked him.
I informed him he was to sleep in the empty snooker room. There were plenty of Mealie bags left by the departed Zulus.
"Day will do fine, man. Far better dan do's mettol springy tings you spooks sleep on!" said Idu. I agreed.
The work on the decking started straight away. The timber was delivered by an ex. pat. Brummie.
"Luvloy plyce yowv got eur, moy mite." I agreed
Two weeks later the two level decking was complete. Plastic card, wooden skewers and cut down coffee stirrers.
Time to give the orange growers another visit to sort out the water in the stream.....and, of course see what else the memsahib wants.
Cheers.
