Good work, she's finished cleaning the drains now? Perhaps get her doing some tarmacing next....

Today I have painted half the house, repaired some rendering, set up the throttle linkage on the Valiant and half made a return spring bracket. Had my hours walk and I'm doing sod all for the rest of the day. Tomorrow I will do the same again, gotta love a week off....

That is item 423 on the list.
I have done a complete work breakdown structure and cost-benefit assessment of all the outstanding tasks.

Anyway, she has to finish painting all the windows first, at least two coats and no slacking permitted, we do not want to be under the projected curve!

Neil that living room is fantastic, I don't think I would get away with that much Americana in the living room, so while I can't get to the real thing, time to move around living room display cabinet and play with these.

This morning 7.45-10.45 I cleaned my son's computer keyboard (outside). Removed all the keys, cleaned them and all the grunge under them, you wouldn't believe how disgusting it was and yes it did take 3 hours and it was bananarama cold. :shock:

I collect original cinema posters and spend hours looking at stuff I cant afford.

I occasionally drop onto a bargain...this arrived today

Nice collection there, the "Great Book of Muscle Cars" is superb and what got me started in all this many moons ago, fabulous book.

I've been sorting 1957 Chevy 3200 electrics cunningly rewired so EVERYTHING is red or black. Interesting trying to fault find that, luckily there is very little electrics on it.

Cheers Matt, it is a great book, pretty much all my books etc was purchased many moons ago and they had been self isolating for years in dark corners of the house or shed,,,,,,

Good luck with the electrics,

sorted through my box of docs on the Dart, threw out old insurance stuff. Found an old MOT of Mr Wiseman dated 7/02/04. DP Developments Odsey Service Station. £40.75. That's dear, only £30.50 here! Gerry
