Morning All.
A decent day ATM, but rain expected later.
This might mean that I start putting the new drives in the PC instead of wowing my lawn.
Have a great day!

Started on making a cab for my little truck
I've decided not to go for pin point accuracy because my maths skills are not what they should be, instead I'm building it to near enough and if it looks right then it'll do.
I'm not a carpenter either but it's reasonably square so happy with todays effort

My God, if I needed a temp job to keep me busy I'd go for a walk down the beach till my hat floated. I have soooooo many "retirement projects" that I have yet to start, and I've been retired 8 years.

Anyway, best of luck with your search.

If you lived nearer us I'd give you a couple:
Finish off the bleddy utility room.
Come to France and finish off a particularly awkward shower, then tile one long wall and one end wall, then grout all 4 walls.
I'd then finish off the plumbing and other installations. (Easy as all the fixings are there, just need to drill oles in a few tiles!)
Good pay and free wine!!

Just got back from the vets.
The nurse started looking at thw wound prior to taking the stitches out. It started bleeding, she went off to get the vet, the dog shooks it's head and blood went everywhere. I had a job getting hold of paper towel to mop it up and put pressure on it.
The vet came in took a look and decided she needed to put some staples in. So she did that.
She intimated that the other (thick) vet should have told us to clean the wound every day.
So there we are off for another 10 days with the cone on her head, daily antibiotics, and cleaning and disinfecting plus back for a check up on Monday.
Plus of course another €60.
