Leakeyvale Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Not doing what was planned as the tree surgeons changed the date so instead of collecting two greyhounds who are staying for the weekend I am watching three men demolish seriously prune my 200+ year old bramley and at the moment a garden covered in leaves, apples and sawdust. As it was higher than the house and dropping tonnes (and I am not exaggerating) of apples it is a job that needed doing. Behold - I have light in my dining room and they haven't finished. The trailer is full of chippings and I have a huge stack of apple wood for logs. All I will need is a man with a log splitter and/or a large axe once it is seasoned!

CMB Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 All day at the Battle of Britain airshow in Kemble, highlights were a Lancaster, Hurricane, Spitfire, Airbus A380 and a Vulcan bomber. Only ruined by the weather at the end of the display plus the Dove transport plane my parents were due to fly in had a problem with its undercarriage and so had to abort before take-off.

powerrabbit Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Yesterday and today been helping my brother put up a big shed in his garden to put his Land Rover and car in under cover. Built like a sectional garden shed but more complicated being 24 feet long, 14 feet deep with two 8 foot openings in the front, box profile steel roof with a 2 foot canopy overhang at the front. Not too difficult to build but there were no instructions just some fuzzy colour pictures most of which were partly superimposed over each other and a few bags of nuts bolts screws and nails. But we did it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Well despite being up early with the intention of going to a vintage tractor working day near Edinburgh I checked the updated weather forecast at home and there and decided against it since it was mostly rain down there. Never mind I think I'll see about getting that fan on my Ransome's MG2 crawler repaired so she can get loaded back into the trailer and give more garage space.

Deere-est Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 At work already, got a couple of batteries to change on the fencers and tie morning creep feed fill ups and check the cattle, let the four milkers into the shed for their calves to suckle their breakfast. Get the new calf to feed from its phsyco mother, move one herd and repair electric fence, put up another fence ready for a move and also set up the race and crush ready for the vet to scan cows tomorrow. Got to be done by 1pm!! Tracis grandads 80th today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
