    It's all looking great mate.
    I'm sorry about the misunderstanding I thought my idea of getting Handy to level the drive with the new dozer was just what you wonted.
    "A RIPPER"

    Cheers

    Gee I am glad we sold the old weatherboard house back in 2000. Crowie - you bring back bad memories !!

    Why didn't you get Handy to do the "No Fun" work and you can get back in the workshop ?

    Take it easy and BE CAREFUL

    THANK YOU, I think Keith....Handy's doesn't have the reach or the head for heights........

    I only have the eaves to wash and repaint....
    The builder was here today installing colourbond capping on the facia's while replacing the guttering..
    He's adding gutter guard with the new colourbond roof..
    We are hoping for a week of fine weather....

    I got a couple of hours in the shed this morning doing all the sanding/shaping on the pieces I cut out yesterday...
    Cheers, Peter

    G'day & thank you Paul,
    Progress will be quite slow for a week or so as my shed is now shut with scaffolding across the entry door.
    Cheers, Peter

    The shed is shut as you can see from the scaffolding across the garage door .

    So it'll be washing eaves and painting for me on Saturday while the scaffolding is up to make it safe for this young bloke....

    And Handy can't help, but if anyone's free, I'll accept all assistance , even supply the paint brush.....

    OH, Has anyone come up with ideas for a simple ripper on the back of the dozer, please??

    Cheers crowie

    What about a simplified version of Dallas' Sandpit Digger with some modifications to look like a ripper?.

    Cheers

    Crowie,

    Looks like a big job even getting the scaffolding up. Take Care

    Default How do you calm an angry smurf....

    How do you calm an angry smurf??

    Poor little Handy was shut up in the shed for just over 3 weeks while the builders scaffolding was across the garage door...

    To make matters worse, I had a stack of painting to get done [7ltrs so far] so Handy is high and dry for yet another couple of weeks.

    If I'm not careful, he'll need retraining once I get back to the dozer.....
    Cheers, crowie

    You got that right Trev, BUT!!!!
    With about 120mm of rain in the past fortnight I have water trickling across the floor and everything is damp...

    I did manage make a rather large yellow fish for KindyGym plus 20 tube holders for my daughters projects [Woodlands and Co
    on facebook]...https://www.facebook.com/woodlandsandcodesigns?fref=nf

    BUT alas no work on the bulldozer, just some research on how to make a "little boy proof" ripper attachment for the back.....

    The re-roofing has finished but the new front entry is still ongoing with tiling, windows and handrails plus the cleanup....

    The hail we had the other week [some 40-60mm dia] broke the new skylight and has damaged all the new gutter guard, more work and expense....

    Also the World Gymnaestrada training and fund raising schedule has ramped up so I've lost some time with that.....

    And we've sold/traded in our old AU2 Falcon with 15yrs old & 292000kms and bought a 4yr old 63000km Falcon FG XR6....

    YES, I should be in the shed working on the bulldozen but with busyness and tiredness I just don't seem to be able to fit it in at present....

    I hope that exonerates me your honour, sir; I'm off to mow the back yard before this afternoons storms/rain....

    Cheers, Peter

    OK I'll let you off with a warning this time!.

    Actually it sounds like your flat out mate.
    The new Ford looks good you might even get to Jerilderie in one go!.
    Oh it's a Ford, I wasn't allowing for the fact you'd need to get home again!.
    Still it's a nice colour for a Ford.

    Honestly it looks like it should serve you well!.

    Cheers Mate
    Trev.
