Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Sunday morning I was awake by 05.10 and first mug of tea by 5.30

Got to Craigs by 6.30 and took a walk around the bomb site, smiling.

This was my view on site.



Then texted Craig to open the back door.

Into the kitchen which is absolutely the family centre of this home.

Saw the hatchet has a home too, by the Raeburn stove.



Outside the bird feeder was fully engaged by blue tits and other birds as well as this greedy guy.



An edited version of Fil looking through the one window was texted through.

Made me smile.



This was the result of Saturdays work.



Carried on dismantling and loading the trailer.



Lorraine made us bacon and sandwiches as well.

Very good.

Then straight back to work as we were against the clock.



Anticlimax when the last wall was packed.



At this point Fil formally handed his personal crowbar that was a firm favourite both days over to Craig.

There is a lot more to this photo than meets the eye.

Fil is generous to a fault and this was an example of kindness, tinged with humour.

Formal hand over



Then the bricks were,removed, packed on a small bike trailer and pallet to be moved.

Craig will be reusing as much of the materials as possible, as this is a costly process.

Any donations of bricks welcomed.




We also moved all the smaller pieces, leaving the trailer for Larry the farmer to pull up when he got back.



Also in the paddock was Donna the pet horse who had been keeping us company over the two days.



All wrapped up.

I got my stuff together, as did Fil and we were both on the road by 12.00 on the dot.



Fils Camper held this gem too.



A long hard weekend and again proof that together we are unstoppable.

Friendship goes a long way.
