The consequences of assuming and not verifying.
I had spent a number of weeks clearing a space in the bush behind the space where Bill now has his pad. The clearing was to gain access to retrieve a dead tree which i thought was perfect for this band stand structure seen below.
The timber had very little signs of termite invasion and its integrity was evident. I had trimmed it to the exact length in readiness for transport. Alas…! My hopes were dashed today when i investigated the sound of an overworked chainsaw.
My heart sank to my boots when i saw what had happened to my chosen structural material. What more can i say??… So i told Bill that i was going home to cry and consider a new design.
