Looks nice Nino.  How many hours work do you reckon you would put into a resto job like this?

By the way, could you bring your gardening gear with you on the weekend please?  Between the dogs digging holes and Alpacas destroying the roses, my garden needs a resto as well thanks......I like the look of yours. 

It is a difficult question to answer. I'd say 75+ hours, but I don't usually count the hours as I enjoy the time I spend on the process. I approach the project differently than a company that works to make money. One day I'll log the hours..

Regarding the garden - That's my Wife's creation. I don't even mow the lawn - true story !
