Been a busy lad tonight, done some repairs to the arch and finished off the section above the rail. Needs filling and finishing but it’s solid and straight for now. Well happy with the progress so far https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180713/55ddc0a7fe6b6bbbb7230b8959fb3e4c.jpg https://uploads.tapa...
