Progress at last!
How can I keep this blog up to date? I can't see how I can make it
easier - I can email entries, I can also do them in word and upload
them. Bad time management I suppose!
Anyway, what have I been up to in the last two months since I last posted?
Sold the Lambro on ebay. It's off to Australia which means it's been
a bit complicated getting it all ready to go - I wanted a UK
buyer to turn up with a van/trailer and whisk it away but there you
go. Mixed feelings about it going really. I always wanted a Lambro
but I think I made a bad choice buying the ones I did. Should have
spent a bit more money to get a complete/running one maybe.
I've got the sidecar project now so that should give me something to
get my teeth into.
Finally got round to buying the racking (bit of Lambro money used).
It turned up on a pallet (very heavy) which we had to "tip" onto the
grass verge out the front of the house. My Dad fell over helping me
unload it so I felt a bit guilty about that.
Initially very disappointed as they sent the wrong sized shelves for
it but they quickly sent the correct ones at no cost to me.
So I'm pleased to recommend Stakrak http://www.stakrak.co.uk/ for all your racking needs
I emptied the garage and built the racking. Bit of a job on my own
(ever tried lifting 8 foot by 4 foot chipboard on your own).
First thought was that is was too big and will take up too much space
BUT I have got so much stuff on it that the floor is pretty much clear.
When the Lambro goes I will have so much space. Room to have the
hydraulic bench out with room to work down both sides! Wow!!
Took some time off work last week to sort it all out. Started tidying
the shed too (which is going to be the cost workshop).
Nearly knocked myself out when a frame slipped and hit me on the
head. I'm not 100% happy with the shed but it will do for now. I need
to put some more time in when the Lambro is gone.
