The shop front awaiting new sign, more tomorrow, Rick

It has taken me at least 6 attempts at fixing my gates this last week and though I am not 100% certain the dodgy cable joint looks like the culprit now.

That said I am fully retired now so the length of time does not really matter and the full greasing of the mechanism and the added water drain is bound to help in the long term.

Will be great to see the final pictures when you have finished the job.

Last bend on

solarman216 · 28-10-2017, 20:45

Got to cut Sq tube to line up

solarman216 · 28-10-2017, 20:46

Joined with a fill in piece

solarman216 · 28-10-2017, 20:48

Round to Sq the fill in piece was this end, sorry

solarman216 · 28-10-2017, 20:52

All done bar a few screws, as all batteries dead, due to some pillock un-plugging my chargers, all ready now for Monday once Lecy has connected the fan and gas control valve, we can then supply gas to appliances and test

Overall view, does not look bad, the only reason I put the duct in the roof from the hood was to lessen the visual impact on the neighbours, and am pleased with the result, you can imagine how another 4.5 Mtrs of duct would have looked across that nice flat roof, next week is the last week when it should all come together, only got 4 WC' to fit, fin CH,8 plastic sheets to rear store wall, beer room chiller to install, boxing round pipes, fin bar area, etc, etc plus all the other trades to sort, more Monday, Rick

That motor looks like that “French Thingy” of Briggies, has he come down to lend a hand

Looks a cracking job Rick

solarman216 · 28-10-2017, 22:25

Nah no idea whose car that is, but might have bee one of the tilers, Rick

solarman216 · 30-10-2017, 22:01

Nothing today peeps, took Suza to vets early am for Spay, sadly she has not copped with it very well so are looking after her, Rick

jims-terrano · 30-10-2017, 22:59

Hope Suza is back to her normal self soon. One of my dogs has been twice lately for vet treatment and has to go again. Not nice when they’re recovering from anethetic is it.

Yes she is fine today, took the "Buster collar" off within half an hour of being home, she tried washing the wound about three times, each time I scolded her gently then immediately praised her up, she has not tried to wash it since and had a small meal this evening of raw sheep's heart, her favorite.

As for the job, lots gone on today but only took one pic before the batteries died.

This will be a wine rack protected by a pair of steel mesh sliding doors, these are going to be fabricated on site due to their size, will give you more tomorrow, Rick

Hugs to Suza... she is such a cutie.

Given, thank's Clive, she is doing very well, and even Rusty is giving her respect, even at this early stage he can tell she is "different", Rick
