The chain affect on the H of the makes it a bit harder to read too.

No problem. Obviously my oppinion is mainly based in personal taste so don't take it to heart :). You can see the text better now.
 
This is not so much about what I made, but what I refurbished

My old rotten shed that looks like a farm barn (if it looks anything like one of Aton old Animal farm barns, is entirely coincidental ;))

The floor and lower half was completely rotten

Cutting out the rotten wood and replacing it with new timber

It took me just over 2 months to refurbish, it was a big job, but it was worth it

Don't forget to click on the spoiler to see the final results

If it looks anything like Alton's Enchanted village lodges, that is entirely coincidental ;)

why pay £100's to sleep in those star gazing sheds when I can sleep in my own for nothing? :)
 
So hear me out . Since starting Drag, one of my ambitions is to ride Rita (the formerly and still kind of Drag Racing themed coaster) in FULL racer Drag. Now , I really don't have the £500 spare to have this made, but Alton Towers marketing if you're watching, I smell a marketing stunt in the making ;) I can be found on instagram www.instagram.com/queenballchange

Jokes aside, I love this design and I thought it could be appreciated on here <3

Amazing! Just followed on instagram :)
 
I made a toadstool patio set (table and stools) to go with the theme of our garden

I also made a mini/crazy golf course which I've just finished apart from Loopy Lou the snail which is still a working progress. I made the boards from a 4x8 ply sheet cut into four 2x4. These were edged and stained and covered with green felt. The boards are reversible with a different course on the reverse. It's a modular board system.

I must say that I'm well chuffed with it and it forms many different courses, and I'm in no doubt that there is more different coursed to be discovered

I also made the obstacles to go on the course

The unfinished snail can be seen in the next pic, I've covered it with some DAS clay. I'm going to cover it again with a cement/sand mix and then paint it. Also the raised platform with the 3 holes in also divert the balls in different direction depending which hole the ball falls down

I also made some levelling feet to level off the boards on uneven ground. These circles fit on the underside of the boards.

The boards are also joined together from underneath using these things that I've made, they have now been stained since this photo was taken

Mustn't forget Jess, I took some large foam jigsaw mats, these came with grass effect printed on them

I edge them with some pipe foam and then cut a hole out which I lined using a pot noodle pot which I cut off the top and then inserted it into the hole, the golf club and ball was a Toilet putter set which are very light weight for Jess. The ball is like a ping pong ball and the club is plastic. I just place one of my ramp obstacles from my main course onto it for Jess to have a go

Looks great @RoyJess. Do you run much on your G Scale track? Got lots in the garage but haven't plotted a course round the garden yet.
 
Thanks @Rick

We just have the two locos and four the carriages, which we run weekly during the good weather when we are relaxing in the garden. We just have them running in the back ground, we don't run any sort of time table with them. We did have plans to run the track around the garden, but we decided that we would keep it simple
