Is that measure twice, cut once or measure once, cut twice? I can never remember.
Mithy- put a good cut of steak on that eye for 1 hour at 35 degrees C. Drink 3 pints, cook the steak medium-rare, eat it with a large baked potato, a bunch of fresh asparagus, and a nice salad. Drink 3 more pints and have a full body massage by a beautiful young lady. What was your injury again?

Eye is OK, it hit just down far enough to just give me a cut, no pretty colours for me 
Bone, if you are really cunning when you plan it, you can make every piece of wood be a multiple of 300mm long, meaning that you can order exactly the right size, little cutting
Measuring is for 
anyway 
Drank some cider that next door brought back from cornwall, its like drinking a pint of wine that stuff, strong!
Took a photo out the window.....

Mith, what is that black bar outside your window?
I see you have the pool and hammuck set up. Nothing like a dip and a snooze.

A yup! Judging by the angle of that photo, the cider must have done it's magic.Mith said:y

Obvously, those are the bars of the Asylum that Mith is currently committed to. He had to take the picture by sticking his arm out the window, through the bars. That explains the weird angle. It must have been after curfew, otherwise he would have taken the picture from close-up.
BH, the bar is a drainpipe from the shelter roof. I took the picture by sticking my head out the window and looking to the left, I cant usually see it. The hammock is great, except your bum scrapes along the ground, and if you swing too far you hit the junk that is under the shelter there.
You guys like the swimming pool? Its about 1' deep on the downhill side, and about 1" on the uphill. We have no flat ground, so its a bit useless really And you have to fish all the dead flies etc off the top with the tea strainer first before getting in. Its nice on the first day, but after a while it gets a bit nasty.
Nearly done today.

You need to get the shovel out and level a spot for that pool. You might get an even 20" all over then.
Ice, the pool cost £20, used it a couple times this year, so you really cant complain I'm wating for snow in August I dont know though, the last 2 years I have been mowing lawns until Christmas day, it still stays pretty warm and dry late now.
John, yup, Dave came back, that means we get lots done With just me, or my Dad 'helping' yum: ) not a whole load gets done
The siding is featheredging, just the cheaper version of shiplapping. it used wedge shaped boards that overlap slightly, so the water just runs down them.
You could have asked for pics of the hinges before we shiplapped around them, but I'll do my best.
I made the hinges using some strip steel, and a peice of box. They are offset, so that when the door opens it moves outwards. This way, when the door is open and standing out 90 degrees normally the thickness of the door would be standing into the doorway, with the offset hinges it is outside the door, that way you can put stuff the full width of the doorway through it. I'll take some pics of them, and some pics to explain what I mean.

John, got some pics for ya
First shows the closed hinge
Second, open hinge (note the wonky screws, there is a nail just in line with them, so we put them in angled to miss it)
Third, why i made my own, the door opens so it is flush with the doorway, so an item the full width of the door can go through.
I have still got some welding to do on them, and weld the pins in, but I'm going to wait until its 100% finished before I effectively weld to the door on. They aint pretty, but they do exactly what I want, and do it how I want

Thanks, use the idea all you want. One day someone gunna sell one of my better ideas for lots of £££, that will be a bad day.
Yep, the green is preservative. The wood is treated anyway, but the green stands out a little less. You can see what it looks like 2 years old on the old bit of shed, it looks a bit less bright.

I put some locks on the door, other than that, running out of things to do really.
I dont want to knock the wall through until after I get back, so I cant put the window in yet. I cant get the roofing until we get the van back, or get a trailer.

Mith-
Where are you going on vacation? Are you headed out to visit (what is left of) Bob's house? I checked out the weather for your area and it looks like the temps are in the 70's range. Is that right?
So what are your plans for the shed? What gets to live in there?

BH, going to the Isle of Wight, same place as last year. Same site as last year, same people as last year (mostly).
Temp sounds about right, its windy and cloudy, the occasional spot of rain. Still very hot though, humidity......
I'm going to fit as much of my stuff in there as possible as I can, its mainly for storage and to free up the other part of the shed for workshop space.

I'm working on some method of stacking tractors to use that height, but yes, shelves will probably go up too.
The main bonus of the height is that now I can now build and work on 'items' over 7' tall.The wall above the door also means that with little work, I can fit in items 10' tall.

I told you it would rain!! And it has, but I hope you had a good holiday anyway. Have got my pass for Dorset, and hope (Foden willing) that I will be down in the Diesel Heavy Haulage Section as usual. Do you want me to load that Wheelhorse to add to your collection, if the Foden makes it (it is still untried and I have to go with fingers and everything else crossed) I can carry the wheelhorse, can you collect if from there if I do?
Nice shed, by the way!

Ice,
Its been raining a few showers in the past week. Rain while we are camping isnt a problem, we just hide under the big tent, or just get wet, no big deal.
I wont be able to collect it unfortunately, we would need the van which almost certainly wouldnt make it to the show
Anyway, time for bed now......
