Tractorman810 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Sorted out several jobs I have been meaning to do,inc new lights for the decking, sound proofed the walls in the new boiler cupboard and boarded that up ready to go for the boiler move, took the quote down to the builder to get it finalised as they mis quoted for a load of work that I am doing and didn't need them to, hopefully about 5 grand of the price after that. With the aim to start before the middle of next month, he's got the guys in place ready to go. Cut the grass and sorted the boarders out weeds wise, and as a last job, made the trunk for a new tree for the layout,after getting distracted looking for my Stanley knife in.

smithy Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 My granddaughters made this cushion for my mate Eric ,you see the story goes like this Eric not got a lot of feeling in his fingers arms following having a stroke, he has several bird-feeders/tables out side his living room window and often sit there watching but he noticed a rat was coming up to get the food so he got out his 22 airgun and sat there waiting with the window open and when the rat appeared he slowly raised the gun putting his finger on the trigger remember he has not a lot of feeling in fingers yes as he raised the gun it went off he now has a hole in the back of his settee ,Eric loves watching DADS ARMY on the telly so my granddaughters made him a dads army cushion to put over the hole , and a good laugh was had by all 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thanks Mark it could be modelled on me haha , both the girls can knit and sew things yes they do need a bit of help on it but the wife is always on hand to help them out as she is the one that teaches them ,they do play games on our mobiles but the younger one would rather be up the farm with the horses and the other one driving the tractors with me but remember Mark DONT TELL THEM YOUR NAME PIKE 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Back to work today after 4 days off, to find out I am likely to be in the office for a few months now, as the guy I cover normally had a heart attack Sunday night, so book any time of work you want as there's bound to be a heat wave now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I've moved into a new flat on a farm recently bought by the vineyard I work part-time for. It's starting to look more homely since taking delivery of a 3 seat leather sofa yesterday but still need to sort out phone/broadband, washer drier and blinds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on this one at the moment Sean might do next year as its fresh grass I don't wont to hit it too early with chemicals to control the weeds so will top it a couple of times so weeds don't seed and hit it with something in the autumn will bale about 5000 small bales of the other bits I have so not really worried about this bit at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
