wandered the house wearing a pathway back to the computer every third trip or so.... look at the laundry, oh I'll just check how to do that, Damm! still down!!!:(
The carpet was lucky that Peter turned up when he did and we had fun looking over my haul from the Wood Show.
Today I got colour on the laundry walls, built the sink support and cut the benchtop to size.:2tsup:

I didn't get near the workshop unfortunately. I spent most of today doing a Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) course so that I can work behind the bar (in a voluntary capacity) at my local surf club.

Last week I worked 95 hours. In the other off net times I have applied round up to the pesky regrowth in my backyard, oiled the bbq trolley, washed cars, cleaned and reorganised the shed, wired a mechanical switch into my grey water system so the missus can push a button and forget about it (which she normally does anyway!) ...... oh and I managed a few hours sleep.

Chainsaw Re-building 101.
+1, Actually my current rebuild is a stihl 010!
I seemed to spend more time picking up chainsaw repair hints on the arboristsite.com forum.
Attended a Chainsaw Users course all day saturday. Didn't learn much - but made SWMBO slightly happier about me having 4 chainsaws in our small suburban back yard.

Well so much so, that I will have to do a chook shed clean - just so I have somewhere for the excess sawdust to go...
What's even better "the boy" has no excuse to be out of the house on Anzac day....
I plan to wake him early ... Lest he forget :U :U ....

I made it clickable.
It is a valve amp made by Marshall that was so good that lots of people have copied it & made their own & then started modifying it to make it better.

SWMBO and I went driving to pick up some plants for the garden. (Summer is coming up over.)
Glued up a cabinet face frame in the arvo. (Dominoed, of course.)
Checked the site every few minutes and cursed. :D

Uhh, in a really strange twist of fate...
I was talking to another forum member. :oo:
My local 'hardware store' here moved and re-opened on Thursday, and there happened to be a section of the tool department that has a certain orange hue to it. So I visited it again tonight. :2tsup:
After quickly going over the place end to end (and it's long drive, let alone walk) I felt like a kid in a candy store with $10 in his pocket.
If I only had the $10...:(

Chain-sawed some tree stumps into root ball turning blanks. Probably waited too long, cos spalting is almost punky after a year or two outdoors.
Prowled SMC. I'm not sure SMC is ready for either Cliff OR Bob.

try saying cold-in-the-nose when your head feels like someone has squirted a couple of cartriges of goop up your nose.
Unfortunately drowsy-type anti-histamines wear off after 4 or so hours.
