New view

[Lang]

Robert,

You are right about the Hiab. That 40 year old Volvo F86 was the best buy I ever made. Even managed to swing Keith's Blitz cab over the fence during this year's Corowa. You probably saw the picture of us going down to the event.

Hot toddies by the fire sounds good but what do you do from breakfast to dinner time - freeze your bums off building sheds?

the shed is up and the blitz is in. I am alowed to use the shed until October then it's Vicki's. Current view from back door

Looks great Robert, but are you sure this is the right blitz? Shouldn't it be the one with split diffs?

I tried but the steering lock was too lousy to get it in.

This is the view from the other side of the house, two shots from the font steps.

Thankfully it melted by lunch but tey are forcasting the horible white stuf again tonight. Vicki couldn't get to work this morning as the road into Batlow ws closed.

I've made the three point linkage adaptor for the backhoe and the welding held for a test dig. Now I need to have the hydraulic bank serviced and then I can dig the 500 mm of surplus earth out of the top bay of the shed so the floor can be concreted, should be easier than pick and shovel and wheelbarrow. Once I've had a bit of practice I'll dig a service pit to make greasing the blitz easier .
