Like!!

Thanks

Seems she liked it too......

When I came back from bootfair, it was already in her car


Only went to one bootfair today.

Got some nice bits.

Katy asked for a Lopper for her garden £2.00, she bought a new gas BBQ a few weeks ago, so new fish griller and sausage holder for £1.00 and a new, pretty rubbish bin for her daughters room at £1.00 was her wins while she stayed home in bed.

I found another drum pedal, looks new and unused, with electric switchgear inside, perfect for truck gas pedal converting.
Also a set of 4 new VW alloy centre caps for 50p
A Hozelock garden sprayer for £1.00 (I have one and gave me spare to Katy last weekend as she did not have one.

Bought some McDonalds Bacon and Cheese flatbreads for brekkie on the way back and had them on the deck with Katy before she left for her home by 09.15 as her one daughter is home for the weekend and she has a family get together today.






Not bootfair related, but started clearing up in front of garage yesterday, cutting and chopping a load of wood into kindling and packing it away after cutting and clearing the front and one side hedge.

Went from this......



To this by late afternoon around 18.00

Hope to get the rest cleared today.




Amazing how time flies when you get distracted.

Got rained out twice yesterday too.

[Grizz1963]

Added a small overhang to the front of the shed this morning.





And tonight as a last job I changed the wooden ramp for a cement one. Mainly to make access easy but also to keep any potential rain out.



Job done as far as clearing out front of garage.



Once the garden tools are out of this cabinet, it will get moved and my dummy petrol pump will go into this space.





Weekend over, knackered.

Thanks for looking in.

Always busy Rian, looks nice and tidy and your new shed looks like it's always been there.
Now go to work and have a rest.

@ ZA Perana/@ FairmontGT please have a look?

Should not get an error Grizz as posting your "experience" is effectively an "update"?

This little van...... I continue to love it.

Used it to collect an engine stand I bought two weeks ago that @CraigRK collected for me. He lives about 65 miles from me.

Engine stand is for revising Chevy truck engine when Paul and I redo the bottom end seal and timing chain cover that needs to be redone.

A greatly functional tool.

Then over to Katy for a big family BBQ where I am cooking.

FFS !!

Tried to post a photo.

But now its challenging the link dimensions.

Grrrrr
