Mickwhitt 4,241 #776 Posted September 22, 2020 Thats what I'm thinking. The guy said they woukd make it about 10mm under the brick to brick dimension to allow me some wriggle room. I just don't know it there will be any surprises when I start cutting into the brick. Its a standard brick outer leaf but a breeze block inner leaf. Should be easy to cut and I will pop lintels in before I drop the brick out. Mick 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,961 #777 Posted September 22, 2020 Here today, was Copar Panzer maintenance day. Changed the fluids, set some gaps, replaced some seals, adjusted the brakes, repaired the motion control handle, touched up some paint, dug out some lights... all in thinking the old girl may be finding a new home next week. 1 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,976 #783 Posted September 23, 2020 Back over the border for more work on Dunc's workshop today. The finished carport. Dunc built the store room wall and fitted the door last week. Guttering down the right hand has to be fitted yet. I thought we'd done it. There'll be plenty of room for the two Volvos. Workshop when I arrived this morning. Das, the joiner, soon finished the last bay. Dunc and I fitted the side rails while Das, started on the left hand side. Dunc fitting blocks to support the side rails. Used the C-125 and trailer to bring up the service door and frame. Which was then fitted. Front rails also fitted. Dunc fitting the cricket bats. If you saw them before fitting you'd see why they get that name. Das fitting the outer cladding boards. He was up and down that ladder all day. Oh to be young. And before anyone says what was I doing. I assisted Dunc with the side and end rails and kept Das supplied with boards. Also tided away rubbish. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,241 #784 Posted September 24, 2020 Spent the morning cleaning the pavement (sidewalk?) on our street, removing overgrown weeds and grass and sweeping the soil away. Looks a lot better now and the path is now wider. Then off to a friends to replace all the compact flourescent bulbs in her kitchen with LED equivalents. Then off to an antique shop to put up a set of display shelves. Been a bit of a day all in all. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,976 #786 Posted September 25, 2020 My first job this morning after I got over to Dunc's, was to sort out the recoil starter on his wacker plate. There was a broken pin inside the mechanism. To cut a long story short, failed to fix it. Reverted to the good old fashioned way of cord round a pulley and got it going. Ramp in workshop doorway got wacked down. Put the guttering up on the right hand side of the carport. BTW. A bat has taken up residence in part of the middle truss. Bat droppings on the floor. Some kind of sheet is going to be fitted below where it roosts. Otherwise Fiona is going to be kept busy. Final job was some work on the Case tractors hitch. It has a missing pin and still has. We couldn't find anything for a suitable temp' replacement. Not bad for a 32 year old tractor. Rear gable end of workshop was finished yesterday. Makes the roof seem higher. Digger has a nice new cab on now, after being hit by the runaway tractor. It was an insurance job and even came back with an air freshener in. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,976 #788 Posted September 26, 2020 Cut down some hedging by the garden gate. Was getting a bit scrawny. Took it away with Sears/Roper and Saxon trailer into next doors field. They have a place where they have fires. Later mowed the lawn. Most likely for the last time this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,952 #795 Posted September 27, 2020 My wife got bored sitting around the house since her back surgery, so we went out for a drive and found a small garage sale.
