Compo 10,328 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 For many years now I have been intending to move the see-saw frame into a new spot. It had become overgrown and unusable. I went outside to see the railway workers who were installing new barriers at the level crossing. With their co-operation and their digger the see-saw is now uprooted and awaiting it's new location: In situ, all plants removed and awaiting the digger: Removed: Ready for putting the shrubs back: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well done Compo. That's the beauty of living in more remote locations. Folk look out for each other and help out if they can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I inow have to decide where to put it and then start digging again. The railway men have finished their work and gone away with their digger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MELTONSTILTON 452 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 My neighbour has a digger, he will let you borrow it for free, all you have to do is drive it home, and return it with a full tank of diesel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,514 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Compo, so when you've got your see-saw re-assembled will you be spending much time going up n down singing 'See-saw Marjorie Door'? Can you post a video? ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 You'd better get the elf and safetypin people to come out and re-certify it before you have another go on it then. Guess they'd have a "local" (ho-hum!) office in Inverness? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Aye...he'll need spongy grass under it and safety cage fitted around it...and seat belts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Have to admit that I'm pleased the Elf and Safety tw*ts can't get at me over this one. It's mine, on my land and not for public use - so they can all feck off and be sad tw*ts elsewhere! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
