    Talking WIP - House of Ruffly

    Obituary of the Solar Kiln
    It is with deep regret (NOT!) that I wish to advise you all that the Solar Kiln passed on to its new home on Sunday, 18 February 2007.

    It was a long and involved process, with many coffee stops needed to replan the method of attack ensuring that all the good stuff was stacked carefully to one side and the not-so-good stuff was dumped well away.

    Solar Kiln was a great, little, sweat box in summer and a fantastic icebox in winter. It is still unknown if it will be missed or not.



    Pic 1: Before the attack
    Pic 2: In the middle of the attack
    Pic 3: She's a-coming down!
    Pic 4: Muscles!!!!
    Pic 5: How on earth did I fit all of that and more in such a small space


    Cheers
    Wendy

    The site will be levelled next weekend and hopefully I'll hear about council approval within the next two weeks as well.

    Jeez Wendy, borrow a percussion hammer to get rid of the cement, your elbows will thank you for it. It should be reasonably cheap to hire a breaker hammer of some type.

    I bet you can't wait for the new shed

    I think it is important to have a washing machine in your workshop.

    Local Bunnies is still selling those Ozitos at $69, must be easier than that hammer and chisel!

    A crowbar is a lot easier than a hammer & chisel.

    Don't you recognise a custom workbench when you see one?

    I'm so glad I don't have to follow through with Ozito!! I'm wondering if I'll be able to get away with sitting back with a long tall drink and watching the guys get rid of the slab this coming weekend










    Of course there will be a few cold ones in the fridge for them, but they don't come out till half time at least

    cheers

    Tell the guys you've buried their beer under the slab then get out of the way.

    If you or the guys are going to break up that slab with either an Ozito hammer or darkside methods - WEAR SAFETY GLASSES!!!!!

    Those little concrete chips would make a helluva mess of ya peepers if you copped one.
