    My Rhino has stood up to the winter in a coastal location and is now starting to produce crops ready for the coming year, really happy with it

      Right update, finally got the base dug out, built up where necessary so now level. Several 10s of barrow loads of soil moved to raised beds for new fruit area and a near equivalent number of barrow loads of rock and hardcore into the base area. Lots of banging with pickaxe and club hammer on cold chisel to lower the height of a couple of rock outcrops. A fair amount of swearing and many cups of tea were also involved, but I still have all my fingers.

        That must of took it out of you on today's heat. Plenty of tea always helps though, followed by a couple of cold beers whilst assessing the work carried out.

          Finally got the doors hung yesterday and they slide properly and meet in the middle with no big gaps. Staging fitted. "Just" need to finish off the surroundings, remove large bay bush and sort out new water storage. Taken a little longer than anticipated, but been fun and kept me out of trouble. Will stick some pictures up in the next few weeks.

            With such a large project, best not to rush it ;)

            Looking forward to seeing the finished result - you've certainly worked hard on it and I have no doubt at all that you will make it earn its keep :thumbsup:
