I found that the brake peddle would pulsate when I pressed it, after fitting the new discs, I wasn’t sure why this might be, so just ran it for a while to see what might happen as it all bedded in. Nothing changed, so I took it apart last night. Having gotten the disc off, cleaned up the mating faces and put it back, I realised that perhaps the disk is sitting on the protruding stud splines and not onto the face of the hub. But by that time it back together, so tonight it’ll be coming off again to see.
3 cubic meters of logs cut to between 8 and 10inches long (like the mix of units?) turned up in the back of a tipper. It took me a hour at the time when they turned up (12:00 noon), then another 3/4 hours before we went out (16:00) and another half an hour or so later on (20:00) when we came back to get them all stacked, which was 3 times longer than I hoped it would take to stack them all in.
I now have the gutter on the garage, just in time for the rain. I got a little footage of the gutter working shortly after installing it:
The last 3 roofing sheets turned up today and I got them on just in time for the weather to turn tomorrow. Next I need to go to Mole Valley Farmers for some 200×22 mm timber for the fascia boards to cover the top of the wall all around and then fit the gutter.
I asked a friend to come and help me remove the old roof and build the new roof in three days. We actually managed the removal and build in less than 2 days, but the tidy up and final work is not yet finished. Everything I needed two people to do is done however. Two trips to the tip have been completed also, mostly plant material that was growing over the roof. I have yet to break up some of the old pallets and dispose of them. This is a photo taken ever minute stitched into a video, this is the first day: The second day: Then I used clipchamp’s AI offering to make this video: So you might have noticed the unfinished nature of the roof, I failed to get the length of the garage building right, so didn’t order enough roofing sheets. They’re coming hopefully this week. I […]
I collected some stone slabs from a neighbour today. It was a bit of fun as it was an excuse to drive up a footpath for access to their back garden.
We visited the Isle of Wight for 5 nights. Stayed at a most lovely all inclusive relatives. We visited the Donkey Sanctuary, the needles, the Monkey heaven and the steam railway amongst other places.
I ppopped up to the orchard to have a look to see if I might be able to fix a faulty amplifier. I took my tool in the Land Rover and got this picture:
Having rehung the gates, but this time level, I needed to extend the drop pin. I had found that I had some bar stock of the right size. After a bit of cutting, grinding, welding, grinding and a lick of Zink rich paint it was done.
