Hello all,

Running is on hold..perils of the demolition job is that I have stood on a nail and it went in my foot 😭😭 now I am hobbling around but still out in the garden and building, demolishing and cleaning continue.

Snow is now gone and the weather getting better.

Enjoy your weekend all

Oh no Janpes that sounds nasty, hope you recover really quickly. But at least the snow has gone and you are continuing with your garden project.

Have a wonderful weekend xx

Garden project that started off as small thing that wouldnt take long has now spiralled into 1km of wood ordered for the decking 😲😲😲😲 damn me and my ideas, I should be locked in a shed until the next winter comesπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Wow 😱 can't wait to see the finished pictures. But you may need to keep the ideas to yourself if your going to damage yourself in the process xx

We only live the once so need to get them ideas out there. They no good to me when I am goneπŸ˜‡πŸ˜ˆ

Getting injuries along the way is a part of life. Strange thing though is that I was dreaming about the nail in foot thing a couple of weeks ago and was laughing with hubby as he did it last summer when we tore down the outhouse. I said it is gonna be my turn next 😲 didnt think it would be so soon.

Need to dream of winning the lottery as seems dreams do come trueπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Phoned the hospital, last one I had was 3 years ago when I sliced my hand open on a metal pipe at work.

Thanks for the wishes.

Oh, that's awful. I did that many years ago. Do be sure to get a tetanus jab from your GP's nurse. There is bacteria in soil and the nail will have acted like an injection. You'll be fine, but do ask the nurse or your doctor.

I phoned the hospital straight away and checked when my last booster was. Luckily it was 3 years ago and lasts 10 years.

Cleaned it and put antiseptic cream on it. Fresh change of socks and I was back outside πŸ˜€

That's a relief then πŸ˜€ It's going to be sore so how you're doing more in the garden I can't imagine! I love gardening too though 😊

Hehe this is extreme gardening. We tore down a ground cellar, chopped down 4 trees, cut up the wood and chipped the branches and are extending our decking. The whole garden looks like a tip right now. The wood delivery is next week so once that is here we can start building πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Sounds like a lot of work with great family benefits at the end... Enjoy the project.

A good crowbar or claw hammer to get the nails out or at least bent over in the scrap wood whilst working in the chaos.

Oh no Janpes,sounds painful. Best think of a name for this wonderful shed :)

Janpes profile image
Janpesβ€’ in reply tocer2dwin

Hehe it already has one. It is called Revontuli Laavu. In English it means Aurora Firepit.

Ouch! Bad luck, janpes. Hope you get well soon. (Did you send us your snow this week??πŸ˜„)

Oh dear - look after yourself.( Can you reinforce your garden boots with a layer of iron to avoid further mishaps?)

Janpes profile image
Janpesβ€’ in reply toGrannynise

Hehe iron woman, I like the sound of that πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

I am just gonna be a little more careful out there. The destruction stage is almost done and everything is almost cleaned up. Then next week starts the building stage. The wood will arrive mid week and I think that construction will last about 2 weeks. Then starts the difficult stage of moving the firepit building onto the new decking and extending it a little.

After that hopefully it will be summer so we can sit down and enjoy the sun.

Oh no Jan that's terrible. I hope you have had your "tetanus jab"!

Glad the snow has gone, easier for you to get your project finished. I've only just seen this today so have a great "fire pit Friday" relaxing with your friends.

Have a good weekend. 😊
