Lots of welding rebuilding chassis on my off-roader for mot which I started this afternoon, major strip out even some of the brackets on the rear axle have rotted away...(I won't mention the brand but not Nissan)..it does get used hard though... I think the next year will see a change of brands to a swb y61 as my off-roader...

Got to do a bit of gardening ready for winter....

Been out for an Indian tonight mmmmmmm lovely.



What you up too ?????

Cutting wood up for the fire, you get warm twice doing that, once when you cut it and then again when you burn it.
Wife's birthday on Monday, so going to the lakes for a family walk on Sunday, then a meal at the Skelwith Bridge Hotel. The lads may get there via some greenlanes in their Y60 & Y61 shorties.

Phoning round booking in the next couple of months of work, starting my year end bookwork before my Accountant disowns me, watching the rugby, emptying the wifes muck trailer, start my secret project (remember me asking how to cut thin metal without distorting?)

:lol I thought my terrano was bad with the rot but I can see now why the garage quoted a grand for the work.
So far I have done both front inner wings,bulkhead, body mounts and front passenger side floor.
This afternoon I'm attacking the sills then tomorrow is the worse part,boot floor and inner arches.

Jim/John, no they do not make em like they used to, this guy today was a laugh, he looked at me and decided that he could piss over my head, when I said I was not going to carry a 47kg bottle of propane up those stairs without help, (we had a hoist for the scaffold lift) so he carried this bottle on his own, but I could see when he got to the top it was too much for him, (he did not know I could see him from the roof), but the overall picture is he could only work in short bursts, ten mins on 20 mins off plus smoke breaks and drink breaks, whereas I keep going steady all day, Rick

My old man had his own bussiness as a flat roofer he did it for years, I always remember as a little kid going to see him in hospital after an accident with a bucket of that hot bitumen/tar, he fell carrying something and put both his hands into a freshly poured bucket of the stuff, it was just in the wrong place.. Needless to say his hands were bandaged for a real long time..
