My excuse, if you want one, is I hadn't finished the gabions I was preparing last week due to a few later work calls than expected. In reality I could have fitted it all in.
The gabions are now finished, as you can see below. I did tinker with an idea I had for making abattis but it didn't work out - it looked more like chevaux de frises. I'll crack on with the game next weekend.
I’m in no hurry. Your gabions turned out well. As an aside, did you know spellcheck changes a slightly misspelled “gabions” to “baboons.”
ReplyDeleteYou caused a slight panic there. I had to check I’d spelt it correctly 😄.
DeleteHope the leg is not giving you touch much pain.
Ha. It was in my typing a reply that the baboon substitution was made. Not too much pain at present.
DeleteYour scratch built defences look very effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. They’re good enough.
DeleteIt struck me that these dowels would also make half decent ancient Greek pillars.
Gabbions have come out really well! Excellent work!

Thanks Iain. They might not get used this weekend as expected due to an outbreak of Real Life, but I’m determined to get them on the table very soon.
