Seems a common fault, I did the same, I mentioned in an earlier thread that we should probably leave them to the very end when building the yards, to rectify mine I just drilled a hole at right angles to the 'yard' as near as possible to the ends, I don't think it will be too noticeable when finnished. (see photo)  Hope that help's, well probably be doing it again later  Jeff
