Work Begins at Sleeping
Indian
 The boys
arrived promptly at eight thirty, led by Lord Ron (Chief), Lloyd (Bossman),
Baldwin (aka Barry White for his deep, silky, booming
voice – but I cannot sing – does that matter ???), and Benji (cutie, because of
his shy smile). Within minutes jobs were assigned and they got to it with gusto.
Chris (Mr, Sprayer) arrived to collect some of the furniture and kitchen
cabinets to take them on their ‘olidays and returned for the second half – so
likeable from the offset.
   Lashley disappeared and was soon seen paddling the work
pontoon in, watched by Lloyd. “You can call me Captain.”
 Captain was
soon carefully removing the dock lights.
  Bear of
course, was on hand to add support as Lloyd passed
more tools.
  Plenty of rotten
wood was soon being piled up outside. The downpipe was seen to have a
split below ‘ground level’ and the fence between us and next door was in poor
shape once the uprights had been removed. And there we were on arrival at the
villa just doing some serious sanding and applying a bit of
varnish..........Mmmmm. It was also clear that the deck had been supported on
logs which stood on the sea wall itself – totally against the
rules......
 Bear set to work on the now satisfying pile to harvest the better wood for his outdoor
shower and my trellis support.
 A
couple of hours in and all the deck was gone and out came ‘big boy’
tools.
 After lunch Baldwin got destructive and Benji shoveled and
cleared.
 By three
o’clock our view and patio had
somewhat changed in appearance – incredible what beefy guys with
the strength of ox's can achieve in such a short time. They left with cheery
smiles and we went for a swim.
ALL IN ALL SUCH A WONDERFUL
CREW OF CHAPS
AN AMAZINGLY IMPRESSIVE
