What "man jobs" have you done today?

[{SAS}TB]

Need to get myself a cordless chainsaw! I assumed i'd need bigger than 30cm, but if you're cutting that size log with one then i'm clearly overthinking it!

Plenty of lube and a good steady action.

Once you've got your technique and rhythm down, you can come at it from both sides to deal with the larger girthed specimens

I'm creating my own kindling (look back over the thread) but not with the chainsaw

Dug some **** out of an old flower bed, put some weed suppressant down, slung some gravel in.

I may be lagging a bit, 1 dog walk, shopping for 1 bag of groceries and 1 post hole dug all day.

Good start, don't overdo it first and build up gradually

Unfortunately TB puts us all to shame. He must be working hard in that garden from sun up to sun down

Floor fitter was in today to complete my shower room, toilet and kitchen with vinyl. Looks so much better now, better than isomass rubber matting which I've had to walk around on for 2 years

Another roasting day. I left the compo in the mixer today and used it out of there, easier to knock up
Got the steps done and filled in the cavity.

Working out the rise and fall.

Backfill with stone and then lay the Indian stone slabs in there. He has loads of old slabs, blocks and tat and wants me to use it all up
I asked him where the footing was for the steps yesterday and he told me to build them off the ground I can only do what people ask me to do.

I've had enough of seeing these identical piles of logs. It's not like you can even look at the images in one - they don't fit on the screen.
