That's fine.

If we want to go the extra mile (as the rovers surely have) go down to your local Home Depot (Dollar store?) and get an actual trowel, spray paint it with gold coloured paint, and mount it on the plaque.

I already have smile.gif Except being in the UK we dont have Home Depot, but I found a great trowel at Sainsburys that is currently drying off it's last coat of gold smile.gif The handle is a black rubber, so paint would look rubbish, probably flake off, and generally ruin things, so I pullled that off, and will put it back on to the 'shovel' bit, before figuring out how to mount it all.

Pics to follow this week
