I think I'd enjoy gardening a lot more if I had a JCB to mess around in.

Nice job on the drop links. I couldn't tell from the photo, but did you have them plated? Maybe yellow zinc or type II cadmium plating?

It does help right enough, if I can't garden with the jcb I'm not really Interested

Unfortunately, The Ugly Thing works well (although the wheels creaked in protest, but it won't get moved much at all) and looks like I'll have to keep it. Chain rather than Velcro straps holding the bottles in/on but no doubt it still conforms to NoStandards 2021 Ed...

Would have been easier, there's been a lot of digging in that area over the last 2 years, finally all finished so dumped a load of topsoil and levelled it out

I was trying to get a cadmium plated look but something that would last longer, so I painted them.
Gold base coat then a spot of red and green then lacquer
Link to a post on my build tread with more detail if your interested.

Not much to say, just some (hand) planed planks to have a go at an exercise that was apparently part of an O-Level in woodwork (redrawn in enlightened units). I thought I'd try it out tomorrow (despite never having even tried cutting two out of the three joints before). I prepared two of each of the sizes of wood that would have been provided so that if I mess it up & can have another go!

Ooh, carp and try. I'd start with a tub of wood filler knowing me.

Nikki wanted the weeds sorted in the drive into the house, don't think she expected to arrive home to me with the 24m 4000lt sprayer unfolded.

That's NOT a dent . In my book that's precision engineering.

I had Jaffa cakes.
But even through I am in Wiltshire, I am not sharing with any one.
