Keep looking at me garage gutterin and finking eye should get round to purrin up the new stuff eye gotted a few months ago. Been finking about it all week and did it last nite. Quite pleased wiv meself. Put a bracket at each end and some pink fishing line between thems so eye can gettid the middle brackets int line and they all be ont the same slope. Not much ov a slope but good enuff.
Tested it wiv a cup of watta and it slowly crept along wiggling side to side like a snake. Round the corner and down inter the cup again. Most went int. Some stayed int gutterin assit were dry to start wiv. Edgar was silently watching every move. Wevva was cool anorl. Ah quite enjoyed it. Need ter gerra nuvva 45 degree bend fing so I wedged the down pipe at an angle and tied it int place for now. Can't wait ter see it int action wiv all da rain we is gerrin.

I'm beginning to think that you live off spuds and crumpets
When doing stuff with a biggish pattern repeat do you not run two rolls at the same time? Mind you I suppose I am talking a few more walls to do than you are. Can't remember who told me to do this to economise on papier, but it worked.
Anyway nice job. Really lifts it!
Bet the misses askes you to paint the door woodwork white or green now to go with it, at least on the side we are looking at!
Ouch! they is expensive ain't they?It was a truck cab with Ifor Williams canopy and swapped it for a complete military soft top with all the hardware. Since changed the canvas for the current one with side windows from Exmoor trim
Not saying it ain't nice though, cos it is!
The original canvas don't look bad, from here.
Ever get the urge to turn the tyres round so the lettering is on the inside?
Just sayin!
@derwendolly take note! Mebbe this is the way to catch them. espsshully as you have two doggies if memory serves!Just had a cheeky magpie come into the kitchen, it was after the scrap bread that was sitting on the
worktop, the dog nearly had it for dinner. (the maggy not the bread)

Gentleman prefer blondes
I did the same on the D1, General grabbers and on the D2, Goodyear ATs.
I think we are just a bit old school.
Whitewalls is for Yank sedans and a few posh Brit cars, but then as an ex-tyre fitter you'd have seen more of all this than any of us!
