We’re taking up the gravel at the back door and planning to replace it with paving slabs. We have a lot of the gravel up, but I wanted to get shot of a fair bit, so Simon said he’d have it at his place as infill around his new house. So we spun up there in the Land Rover well laden. I forgot to get an after shot of the side of the Land Rover for comparison. We had already unloaded two bags and a lump of concrete before I took the photos, we weren’t about to put them back in just for a picture. That was 4 fingers between wheel and arch, normally I think I can fit way more than a hand in there. I guess it’s similar to the front arch when unladen. There were about 8 gravel bags, I would think each weighing about 25 kg, […]
Took a spin in the Volvo to Seatown beach the other week. It’s a stunning beach with this meandering stream running down it, constantly cutting a new route though the beach. Abigail had wonderful fun jumping over it, in it and getting very wet.
I thought I’d try to using Recap Photo to kind of 3d scan the agave plant today. I wasn’t able to take photo’s all of the way around, that would been ideal, but I couldn’t be bothered moving it away from the window.
I decided to make up an end bit for the top part of the dash last night, this hole should have a plastic bit over it: So I made up a paper template: Found some nice second hand aluminium and having drawn around the pattern twice, once right side up and once right side down for the other end.. Then using the vice and a small hammer: Took about 45 minutes to fabricoble that together. Not bad eh? Just need to do the other side now.
I had bought this switch for something, though I don’t remember what. So I thought that since the reversing lights are very bright and I do not need to go driving about with them on accidentally, that I should use this switch to give me some feed back. Also the reversing lights serve as work lights, so they do not go off when the ignition goes off, as I might accidentally leave then on if I’m not looking.
We chose to replace our old style bathroom extractor fan with one that is controlled based on humidity rather than on time. As the fan is there to remove humidity, it might as well be controlled by the humidity levels rather than by whether or not a person has put the light on. This is old at the top and the new C4HTSR at the bottom of the photo, the sensor and control board is the only difference between the two models.
We went for a walk yesterday evening and saw this spring bathed in a beautiful yellow evening light.
I joined up with the Dorset Land Rover Club a few weeks back, hoping to make the odd RTV trial at some point this year. They sent me a nice pack of bits consisting of the winter edition of their magazine and a window sticker along with my membership card. Today I thought I’d apply the window sticker somewhere sensible. I don’t understand why a Land Rover club would supply a window sticker. Surely these people have driven Land Rovers and understand that the windscreen is small enough already, and although visibility is already poor, there is no need to actively make it worse. I used a no more nails type adhesive and now it just remains to be seen how well that adheres to the shiny side of the sticker. I tried brake cleaner on what was the sticky side, but once the solvent evaporated it was sticky again, […]
