Thing is I'll never use it. I could have got a 55'' OLED smart telly and wall bracket for what this is going to cost me - I'm gonna make her sit out there in winter

To be fair apart from breaking up the concrete where the old bricks were it was just like clay and I stopped when I hit the hardcore which was about 60-70cm. Easy digging compared to what it could have been (done loads of fences and there's brick, big stones and roots and one hole can take 1/2 a day) After 16 I was knackered though :p

Yeah I know mate, I’ve been digging some piles in my garden, 100 x 100 posts to 800mm. Thing is I need 48! I’m half way :(

Haha - you've cheered me up now. I wouldn't want to do that for 2 tellys!
