Getting closer to being ready for sheeting...

Slowly but surely... we have some progress again. A tough job to do alone.

It feels like forever... Finally some progress on the Saffie shed 😅

A new year and the hope that the shed will finally come together. Contractors are lined up and will start soon.
Getting older erode ones ability and courage to do it yourself. If there are guys out there that can offer some help in any way shape or form please let me know.

After more than a year, the struggle for permission to build the new shed is finally over.
We received final approval from council and hope to break ground before year.

It's been a while since my last post. To set up the new shed is a lengthy process...
But finally today after a few months wait, the new shed arrived.
Hope to get everything finalized with council in the next few weeks so that the build can start.

Haven't posted in a while. The habit to take pictures for posts seems to be a hard earned habit...

I have a few fences to take down and got a hydraulic wire winder. The hoses didn't quite reach so I had to take the bracket of and drill a new hole to move the coupler back a little.

That done, I had to fit the new quick-fit male couplers and got to try the hydraulics for the first time since I bought the tractor, in nineteen voertsek...

Tomorrow I'll start taking fences down. One more toy to enjoy 😁

Ever had to start a repair job late in the evening because your day didn't work out, just to discover you don't have the right spares for the fix?

I had a pulley bolt brake off on the Torro mower deck... I was in a hurry to get it out and found an old bolt that I could weld to the bottom stub. Came out easy enough.

It was then that I discovered that I did not have another bolt as replacement... The only bolt I could find with the right thread was an old timber bolt with a round head. I cut the head of, knocked it though another bolt, welded it together and cut it to length.

Pulley was back on by 21:00 😁👍
I'll have to do some more work on the deck but not today. Quite happy with how the fix turned out.
