Hoorah! It's good to hear of future big erections taking shape at Barebraes...I'm not quite sure about the doggie sniffing&peeing bit, especially with him being such a big dog and all...

Scalping is great fun, Barebraes. Here in Nuevo Mexico, we dry the scalps. Dry desert air and a sunny sky (to go along with natives of a sunny disposition) are a big help. What a waste to stuff them into potholes. Are they so easy to come by in Shapinsay, Barebraes? Somewhat frightening, really.

OTWH, please explain what scalpings actually are, this is a genuine enquiry unlike the frivolrous comments previously posted here. Really!
Barney from Swithiod with a call for order!
I for one have never ever deigned to post a frivolrous comment. Scalpings hurt my delicat paws.

Definition :Scalpings are, correctly, the off-cuts or shards created by dressing stone for building work, ie, a quarry waste (and Are Excellent To fill in Potholes ) We aim to answer every query with efficiency Barney

Mjc now your question answered : There seems to be an abundance of Scalpings here although where they come from I have no Idea (expect the very knowledgeable FC can help there) Ours came courtesy of the OIC as part of the road scheme. As our track is over a certain distance they give it to you gratis. Or they used to not any longer avaliable due to Council cutbacks.

I did post a comment but its gone astray again
Barebraes from Shapinsay
Although it hasn't been long since the OIC deprived the Community Councils of the very tiny amount of dosh it took to provide the roadfill, already the potholes are becoming uncomfortably noticeable in unadopted un-metalled roads. I'm so glad the road to Big Cage is not one of them!
Flying Cat from the very fount of knowledge *blush*
joking aaside,barebraes,did you not keep any of the rubble you had after converting the house? When we renovated our old house local farmers used to quee up to get the rubble to fill in the potholes on their tracks--now the local council(b****y mugs tarmac all the roads leading to the fields and who pays for it? yes we idiots who are not farmers!
carol from over here
Well Carol (all joking aside) we are building a green house (recycle type not glass one) All the rubble and old stone is being used to rebuild and fill in floors etc.. keeps down the cost a bit too . Have you recovered from your NZ jaunt yet!!
Barebraes from Shapinsay
Barebraes, yes and no!!
