Afternoon folks

.

Well it was sunny and warm (in the sun) so got some motivation to go back into the "east wing"

.
The sand outside still had some mostly frozen lumps in when I dug in, the water in the water butt was Icey too, I plodded on though

. Got the rest of cementing done so while it goes off properly I can take out the big scaffold and put in the lower platforms in prep for plasterboard, then it will look like a room at least

.
Cracked me nogging on a concrete beam and had to sit for a few minutes, checking my swear word vocabulary, think I got it all out

. It was only a flesh wound don't worry you cant get rid of me that easy

.

So off to the shower to get rid of the grit. Don't look at the pic if you are eating your lunch

They are so "effortless", you will love it I think.
A bit of "well-earned" luxury does the spirit good.

I am really chuffed, it has come at the right time for me

...I replaced the dimmer-switch that blew when the bulb in the dining room light-fitting popped (how a blown bulb destroys a dimmer I don't know).

Now trying to find a long rope I bought some time ago as we need to extend the washing line now that we took down the tree that one end of hte line was attached to.
A Horse Chestnut some 110 feet away has been nominated as the "fixed-end" by herself, to the current line is too short to reach.

Hope you are ok!! Just because @DanClarke beat up a concrete post, I don't think it was a challenge!

Certainly not! But as it was deemed that I needed a CT scan and an MRI I think head injuries should always be treated seriously.
With serious amounts of anaesthetic juice to hte inside of the victim.

...that my Brushless DC Servo motor arrived.
To my untrained eye it looks like it has its own programmable DC version of a VFD because it has min/max & brake parameters that can be set.

Great for you I'm sure BUT I haven't got a clue what that sentence said.

I think you might really. It is a Servo-motor for a Sewing machine, and you and sewing machines are best-buds.
I it has a control-box that is programmable for RPM (which equates to Stitch-rate).

That sounds more sense than the last post.

Now I know what to do with my disused sewing machines!

Ouch!
One of the big problems with losing your hair, as i have to a large extent is that bumps like that are mcuh worse than they would have been when young.
Why Nature thinks as you get older you need to protect your bonce less, but your ears more I have never understood.
