Not today I had to attend my best mates mums funeral. But over the weekend.
Got a tip off from ol’mate Nic about some excess timber that’s available to be cut and split for firewood. Last weekend was our last weekend officially for firewood collection until it reopens next autumn, so this saved us having to go searching for it.
I think I have a good backup now. 6metres wide by 1.8 high and double row.

Then this same bloke offers me a choice of timber for me to make some floating shelves for my kitchen. We chose, I get it home and started to work on it.
From this.

To this. So far.

My planing skills need some help but so far it’s looking good.

Doesn't stop me from going there though. Haha!
Choices: Traffic jams and such or waking up at 5.40 am have brekky, then to walk and catch a train at 6.30 to the city, another train to the west, another 15 min walk to work. 8 hour day, and do the reverse in the evening. Or when I first moved here in the 90s: Wake up at seven, brekky, 15min drive to town start at 7.30 work 8 hours, go surfing, fishing or snorkelling for a couple of hours and head home, hopefully with tea in the catch bag. Hmmmm...Quote:

A massive thanks to Nic for the timber and the guidance of how to do it all. Soon to be mounted to a wall in my kitchen.

saw a brilliant genuine, ie: not a custom, number plate the other day.
1GU - 1GU - I kid you not.
Thought it'd look good on my AU ute.
I took this a few years back and it still makes me giggle.Quote:

I split some timber this week. Took me pretty much all week, three air filters and an oil change but man that splitter is incredible. Pretty much minimum of 6 his splitting a day, this is the result.

I have a cunning plan: When elected I will pass new laws that state: You must sit on 80 kph on country roads then you must speed through country towns and roadworks. You must speed up so no one can pass you when it is safe for them to do so. You must speed up to 100 kph when there is a passing lane.
That way F%$sticks will do the opposite.
Unfortunately not for me lol. Been doing some landscaping for a neighbour and the timber was in the way. Needed to get it cleared fit the next phase. I quit my job two weeks ago for several reasons but the primary one was they would expect me to work through lunch(no problem) but not pay for that time. I wasn't willing to accept wage theft as the norm so moved on after bringing it up as a greivance several times but not getting any change. For the time being I'm doing od jobs but I'll start looking for more formal work soon. Here is what I've achieved so far(photos not fully up to date).Attachment 86518Attachment 86519Attachment 86520Attachment 86521Attachment 86522Attachment 86523Attachment 86524Quote:

I think you already have a new career going by the looks of these pics. Landscaping. You’ve got a good eye for this stuff and know how to get it done.Quote:
