All the more reason to get that fence back up - so you don't have to look at your lazy slob of a neighbor. Wink

Looks pretty bad, we had some pretty strong winds down in the west country, but nothing like what i have seen on the news, lots of lorry drivers coming a cropper on the exposed roads!!

First thing tomorrow it's getting replaced - The fence panels can be reused, they aren't actually too badly damaged

At least thats one bit of luck. Unfortunately the boiler also failed today. No heating or hot water Angry

. And it's bloody freezing outside! (And inside now)

Nasty winds down here in Devon recently. Neighbour to the left put up a new fence a while ago, with 6"X6" fence posts concreted into the ground! On the right hand side, a regular fence, 6'5" high fence panels.....
Over the past 3 years we have had to repair/replace certain panels about 7 times, due to winds. As a result of this, Dad put up some supports on the fence at a 45-degree angle into the ground to support.
The other day, that was ripped out!
Terrible weather recently.
