What have you been doing or plan on doing today?


Recommended Posts

Did one load down to Chard his morning and tipped apple pomace at Snowdon Energy's anaerobic digester, not a million miles from Frogmary Farm. .. which I'd only heard of since reading about it on here! Sundays we can fit a longer trip in while the cider mill cleaner their lines. It's been a bit slow the last few days as the evaporator isn't getting the water/steam out of the pressed juice fast enough so the presses are running at half speed. Just now, this old 143 450 came in genuine 450k on the clock and with the stacks, she sounded blimmin' lovely!

Thanks, It looks tidy. Really on the lookout for a Ford 3 or 4000, if you happen to hear of any, know that Oakfields have a 3000

Ok will ask around the one in the picture was £3500 might be some room in the price the person that was selling it was not there when we was looking but a lady in the office said the price

There was a tidy 3000 sold at a farm sale just up the road from us here in September, made £2900 I think. Looks very much like the oak fields one, but I wouldn't swear on it.

took the kids swimming this morn,then been concreting the dining room floor in where the stairs came out ,found the floor under the stairs which was a cupboard was a good 2 cm lower than the rest of the room,so i have had to shutter it up level and fill a lot bigger than the 1 m square area plus wall gap i thought i did , now got about 1 m square left that will have to be self leveled as concretes to thick to finish it off, so will do that when i do the new hall ways floor ,poss tuesday when shes out as it needs two hours to set. could have got the builders to do all this, but so far i am only 500 quid i to a saving of 6000 of their bill and have got a good 1250 quid of work done going by the broken down quote we had .

Is that the boss man? I only met one chap who was there unblocking the auger between the feeder and the digestion tank. A piece of wood was jammed in there.

Yes, Fred or Edward Eames. Small world, you delivering to the digester!

and fireworks smithy  ;D;D ,

 

for me,been right at it today, new stud walls in between the bedrooms, and one of the twocremoved,all bagged ready to go to the tip tomorrow, and concreted in more of the floor to get it level , only a small area stocdo now,leaving tomorrow as a bit of sparky work and then a new ceiling up in the dining room and maybe time allowing the kitchen. also dropped the car down to the dealers as its had a programimg  issue  with the sport mode setting,causing it to rattle ,bit like the old ace of spades card pegged to your bike on the back wheel to get a motor bike noise, seems the injectors were not being fed enough juice ?? when you put your foot down,

That wasn't at a place called Three Holes was it? Place is right on a sharp bend on the A1101 if it's the one I'm thinking of.

You naughty boy smithy. Is that a spray can box I can see on the fire in the first picture. I do hope the tripple rinsed cans weren't in it. ;D

Posted out my first sale of my collection thin down today. Driving for a local saw mill tomorrow so yesterday and today have been my weekend. Smoke alarms up, co2 alarms up, 6 m2 of paving delivered and moved ready for laying, with another 4 m2 coming tomorrow. Hopefully get that down before Christmas. Best go and start a For Sale post on here now!

No triple rinsed ones Chris, no need to wash them if you're going to burn them, saves time when filling, thought you'd have known that;D
