Exactly joebag. I asked my missus why people were so happy here when they are so poor. She simply replied we just get on with life no point being miserable.
I was working in Berlin after the wall came down and asked an East German lady if things were better. She replied not really, before the wall came down everyone in the east was the same, there was no jealousy because people had expensive cars we all had trabants. She said now there was envy and jealousy and that it was just like the US, Britain and the rest of the west.
 
Nice pics Fred, you got a bit of a paunch there. Easy life eh!

Yes they need a roof. It mainly rains at night here. How about the hour lunch break and other snack breaks? They will also need shade for when the foreman is not there I know in the UK scaffs hide in the toilet!!!
 
Great pics HSWT, good luck with the build.
