Sunshine!

Blazing bright Sunshine!!

Wow!

... And pipework is being reworked. There's minimum specs to be upheld... Amazin' what some hope can be hidden under the covers or behind supposedly immovable panels... A badly silly waste of time... Beware sealed and no-access unmaintainable... Beware if cannot be inspected...

Trust but insist on the verify...

There's no such thing as an un-removable panel, just panels that take a bit longer to remove (and may not be in the same number of bits as they were before removal).

Battling to try and stay awake a bit longer here so that I don't get up too early in the morning.

Cheers.

Winning after just getting back from a morning of scrounging some steel and cutting a bit of fresh firewood.

Now I'd better go and start unloading the stuff.

Cheers.

I'm calling it an end to my Thorsday as it's time to prepare myself for P.O.E.T.S. Day.

From chilly damp to steam heat!

Winning on a frosty P.O.E.T.S. Day morning as the sun is about to expose itself.

It's 0C (feels like -3C) with 18C expected today and it's time for a 2nd coffee before I head downstairs to give Robbie the Robot a bit of breakfast to take the chill out of the air down there so I can prepare to do something with that steel that I scrounged yesterday.

Cheers.

After dismembering an old under sprung bed frame, a futon bed frame, grinding off and popping rivets on other pieces of steel the temp here is now at 17C (feels like 11C) so I reckon that it's time for a few beers before I do anything else.

BTW I also harvested my latest crop of carrots and I got 2.5kg of them out of a foot square area (yes they were a little crowded, but still good and straight. I better hurry up and finish my composting bays (that's what all the steel I scrounged is for) so that I can then setup my 2 big wicking tubs beside them.

Now about that beer......

[edit] Isn't it annoying when you want to relax, but your brain keeps on planning your next move?

Cheers.

How do these look Carlos?

Anyhow once I ran out of chilled beer (I forgot to reload the beer fridge yesterday) I had to go out and layout out the steel bits that I got ready today to check sizes for my 4 bay compost setup that I'm building and after a few adjustments, as well as taking a few measurements to cut some more steel, I think that I've got tomorrow morning covered.

Once I was satisfied with all that I pulled the rum out. ;-)

Cheers.

Beautiful sunshine and fluffy white clouds and...


Oh for the sake of a modicum of diligence. Thoughtfulness even? Or just simply being able to do the job?... And that's with two of 'em, with supposedly YEARS of EXPERIENCE... 'Expert' they call themselves...

So... How can a few bits of piping be so 'difficult'?... Easy access, low hazardous rating... Just the one piece requires a sliding joint or at least a mere few millimeters of flex for access. The most mind bending bit might be that there's three different diameters and a few seals to align and...

I could have installed a webcam to share greater entertainment than an old-school Laurel and Hardy farce!...

Incredible. And still ongoing.

Incredible...
