Afternoon Harald

Thank you.

Yes its a nice project.

Typically I have made it end different from my plan.





So you thought America was done?

So did I ( well, at least all the editing and uploading)

But you don’t get off that lightly.

A few more to create and upload.


This one includes lunch at Ethyls and a cuddle from our Queen - Kelly.

Also heat treatment of blades out in front of the workshop with Dennis and Adam.

All too soon it was time for @CraigRK to head back to Mud Island.


Lucky man, he had won a 1973 VW Beetle in an online competition.


Also had cats, dog, kids and a wife to return to.


On the way to the airport, we stopped for the customary breakfast at Pete’s and then got distracted by a local car show.


Multiple T Shirts and photos, chats and drooling later we headed out to St Louis Airport to drop Craig off.


I think both Dennis and I were not overly happy with losing part of the team but life goes

So we got to part 5.


Spectagularly (I know, the spelling) boring video with copyright issue and I screwed up on the editing when a load of radio was on in the background that I had not realised how loudly.


Gets a bit lonely building stuff alone in the back yard. So garage radio was nice company.


Use your fast forward option generously.

So the next job, vapour barrier, insulation and flooring board jenga or Tetris

Interesting??

I keep in touch with Andy via WhatsApp and video calls through the year until my next visit.

The man seriously is a machine.

This week on video he showed me around the new fences and gates he is building. Using steel and 6 foot Cedar boards, milled by him, by hand, from trees on site.

Amazing work.

Andy also loves his animals and it’s always clear they love him and see him as pack leader.

So I was really saddened when he sent me some pics of a new rescue dog, well, *****, called BobbieG that he had given a new home to, that got killed out on the road.
More sad was how his other, older rescue dog Ghirardelli was affected by her death.

Pics show how Andy found them, Ghirardelli loyally guarding her lifeless body and the obvious confusion and sadness when Andy buried her.


Dogs are incredibly loyal. So much more than most humans.

I made a short video of them playing out in the yard as a tribute to a lovely dog.

Animals really know how to be kind.

Life is still good.

George.

What a sweet strange cat he is.

Stealing chocolate

Loves spicy food.

Tonight he insisted on sharing my Paprika peanuts.

Question is Why?

Weird kid.

Part 6 of the *little secret shed build.
*not little or secret ��

Thick gauge plastic membrane followed by 75mm insulation to all surfaces some parts are 2x 35mm and some 2x 45mm and some 75mm thickness used as well

Followed by internal cladding

I also found 5 sheets of used 12mm dirty construction plywood to buy for flooring, cladding and some roofing

Mickey helped with his car and roofracks as I didn’t want to cut the sheets up to fit in the Scenic

I pressure cleaned the sheets and put them up against the fence to dry for a week till I could use them
Bargain at £10.00 per sheet collected

I also managed to do the plywood for the roof

Some pics for those preferring quick information





Last day of 2024





Thanks for following, comments and support through the year





Here’s to a great 2025 for all of us
