What were you meant to be doing? Something else like take out the wheels bin. And was the use of the tractor complete overkill to amateurs but standard practice and the norm for yourself? If so, pottering !
-
Great weekend effort guys, the way the thread didn’t really stay on track was very in keeping with the whole point of pottering, bumbling and general standing in the shed with slippers on, an oily rag and iPhone with torch because you never got round to getting proper lights and electrics. I bought a £1300 generator that now has a flat battery so I then bought a battery jump start kit for the generator to power my container that is 12’ from the house which now has an extension cable dangling out a window I’ve now got the fear using in case I burn my house down.

Morning, bit of rain just now. Chores and pricing this. Ironing then I’ll go walk the dog in the afternoon.

Morning, blue sky’s here. Off to tidy up the field after our Carve day yesterday IMG_1955.mov

Right guys, I don’t want my Pottering thread lost in time because you are all too busy pottering when you were about to reply to this! Weekends here, on your marks, get set go!

Morning Pete, hope there’s been no more wobbly beer tables for you! Village carve this weekend, busy day yesterday setting up. Suns out, blue skys so should be a good day.

Morning!

Morning, up and away early to look at work.

Big day today of pottering, new power steering belt for the mog is due in today so I’ll plan on simply starting that but who knows where I’ll end up. On Monday I went to put the bins out and ended up organising a new kitchen and 2 skylights. I’ve to go to the other village to the post office so that’s bound to lead to a mini adventure.

Morning, cracking morning here. Blue sky and warm.
-
Get well soon!

Morning, currently pouring with rain. Heading out to look at some Robo work for FLS this morning. Hopefully dries up.
-
Morning, dry for now. starting at 12pm for a garden conny trim up and then working late in the adventure park after 5pm once the tourists go home and we can do some dead wooding.

While doing my Sunday hoovering I noticed the inside of my radiators were full of dust and fluff, so after working out how to get the top cover off with a screwdriver and a butter knife I got in about the fins! OOFT no wonder my asthma plays up when heating comes on. Turned into a satisfying job, 5 radiators down, 3 to go. Then went and walked the dog.
-
That’s a definite chore, surely you can get side tracked in the shed looking for a brush and go down a pottering route.
-
Morning, blue sky here but a bit colder. First morning I’ve had the heating come on.

Sounds like the little greenmech chippers going to be busy! Get in! -
I’ll get in touch with my spark and get the container wired in properly, been meaning to now for about 9 months so best get it safe. Cheers for the info Doobin.

No idea, it just a 10m extension cable to the container
-
I’ll leave for the circuit breaker to work out ! 😳😂

The makita 1 that goes on the impact drill or Amazon version of it is about £12 delivered, simple and works.

Can’t beat a bonfire Bob!

So far I’ve replaced the hose on the compressor with a flexi hose and proper wee gun for doing the saws, I’ve hated the long kinked hose and air tyre hose for years so much I don’t use it, so Amazon to the rescue. Next is power cable to the container so I can use said compressor again and have lights and charge my makita batteries. Then it’s steam cleaner fired up from said new extension cable so no more open window in the house with lead hanging out, oh and I finally bought a skooshy gun for the garden hose. So basically sorting all my botches.

Good morning, happy Saturday.

Morning, wet here and doesn’t look like it’s stopping but we’ll see. Super glued the sole of my boots so that should keep the water out for a few minutes. Big garden tree felling and logging job today. It shall be warm in the digger.
