We're organising a bench up at the cemetry, something I'm sure I've mentioned in the past. A £440 bench, that will last 5 years without treatment. Oh, yeah, that £440 doesn't include treating it, that's down to, "...the requestor of the bench, of which provision for painting or staining will be made in the first few weeks of the bench's placement..." I've ranted enough already about the cost and what I think of the whole thing, 
, so I'll not take up any more space with that.
Anyway's, we've noticed benches turning up the last week or so, so I rang them to find out what's happening. Turns out the space available isn't enough to allow the necessary space so we can treat the bench. They're going to extend the paving pad over the winter and that will then give the room needed. A big bonus is that it means our bench won't be out in the bad weather getting all wet and ruined. Plus the payment is made on delivery. So thankfully that means we've got until Easter to save up
