We were at Mole Valley at the weekend and they happened to have the right size gate posts. So we had them deliver 2 yesterday. As such today I got keen and managed to get one out. Given how rotten they appear, they’re actually quite solid. The post would rock back and forth but I couldn’t lift it up. Only after getting the high lift jack and drilling a hole for the tang of the jack to gain purchase on was I able to pursuade the post to rise from its setting. I hope the other one is easier.
We bought a fish tank, that will form the base of the cage. I went and picked it up last week for 15 quid. I cleaned it and removed the paint from the exterior. I aam using angle and flat aluminium that I recovered from the greenhouse that I had for the glass. I did have to buy some weld mesh.
