Finally found the time to install and setup CCTV camera #3. I had to spend £40 on an extra license (2 are free) for my Synology NAS though. A rip off, but I decided my best option.

Drank beer....

Bought 4 new radiators. Fitted one and mowed the lawn. Fun times

Started my tree removal. Only to find it was harbouring swarms of Stag Beetles. Found about 20 in total. Had to go very carefully so that I didn't kill the buggers. Trying to dig out a tree with a stick is really hard work.

Not today but Saturday had a maintenance day at the scout group I'm a leader at.

Replaced the car park floodlights with nice shiny new ones.

Removed the old rusty body from our old Sankey trailer, ready for tidying up the chassis then new body! New body is the tub from a 110 defender pick up, should look epic

Need something to cover a wall.. may finish sometime this year..

I'll be a beached boat, with seaside scene after a storm.

Mowed the lawn with the ride-on lawn mower.

Mark A · 22 May 2015 at 15:30

Took delivery of a big fridge freezer and now have to work out how to remove the polystyrene packaging that is under it, by myself...

Chopped fire wood in case it gets cold at night.

And now Im about to start a small concrete path. I might even have a few beers while doing it.

Derek W · 23 May 2015 at 12:15

gone into work to do overtime

LeeUK · 23 May 2015 at 12:50

Figuring out what to do with this?

It is the passage area between the kitchen and bathroom.

abbotsmike · 24 May 2015 at 17:25

Any idea where the damp came from? I'd wash it down with sugar soap then get it properly dried out.

NickK · 24 May 2015 at 18:17

Mowed the lawn and fitted the rainwater collection into the rainwater butt.

Dis86 · 24 May 2015 at 19:30

Hand built a bookcase into the window seat in my study.

Started undercoating it.

Armageus · 24 May 2015 at 20:27

Fixed the lawnmower (Deadman's Cable stretched), only for the Pull cord to then snap mid cutting the grass - tempted to buy a new lawnmower, but in some ways I enjoy fixing it

Musty Pie · 24 May 2015 at 22:12

Put up a new fence!

Stood back and took in my work proudly on completion.

Ripped up a drive that hasn't been laid a week to repair a blocked drain. A s****y job in more ways that one.

No sure where it came from but there was a built in cupboard hiding it all. Skirting boards were all rotted and the artex is all damp/crumbling but the plaster underneath seems fine.

Man jobs... yesterday... more digging, had a BBQ, mowed the grass.

Today, more digging, maybe get the hedge trimmer out and take back the bushes, maybe strip the paint off the porch, maybe finish chiseling off the external render.
