Took me a while, I think it gave me a hernia, but I built it.  When I finished I had some bricks left over which I fully intend to make use of in a future project, but haven&#8217;t done yet.  Anyway, Paul and I took the bricks and stacked them into two piles at the edge of the garden near the workshop.  The upshot of this is I couldn&#8217;t get my mower down the side.  The brambles moved in, the hawthorn branches grew out, ground ivy started having a bit of a go at my beautiful workshop.  It would all have to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is another of those jobs that I procrastinated about for a while but one fine weather day I decided to crack on.  In my tried and tested method of breaking a big job into small jobs and adding it to my todo list I ended up with a todo item that said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>move 50 bricks into workshop<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I did.  Then added the same task again until I&#8217;d moved all of them.  Armed with a pair of loppers, a pair of secateurs, a strimmer and a hedge cutter I went in for the kill.  Took a surprisingly short amount of time to sort out, maybe an hour and a half.  Finally a few runs down the side with Old Faithful [ yellow mower ] it was a thing of beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aa69f64601f4&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aa69f64601f4\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/junglefreedomfighters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PXL_20240909_130751075.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/junglefreedomfighters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PXL_20240909_130751075.jpg 675w, https:\/\/junglefreedomfighters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PXL_20240909_130751075-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So now whenever I mow the garden I can have a quick nip down the side of the workshop and keep all those weeds at bay.
