There is an extraordinary amount of parts to find, to make a truck
and they all have to be cleaned, soaked or sanded before painting

[Rod Salter]

I put the tin end from the recently bought box onto the old rusty box to weather proof it a bit, so I can at least use it for storage. I will fit some pieces of cement sheet to the window openings and tie sheets of tin on the top

I have put it aside for the time being

The tool boxes will need some repairs too

In the sheds I dug out a few cans and tins to clean up

Meanwhile other projects have priority again
I have decided that the “Posh Shed” (the one with the carpet floor, air conditioning and solar lighting) that its roof leaks too much when it rains [see Topic posts F60 reg.No. 51555]

Therefore I have cleared an area and intend to build a bush shed
So truck disassembly or assembly is on pause again

There were sections of concrete dumped on the creek bank. I managed to drag them back and I am using them to dyna-bolt the shed trusses onto

I borrowed my brother-in-law's bobcat (which didn't go) first 2 flat tyres, and I had to unblock the fuel lines then replace the governor diaphragm in the injector pump. I have managed to glue the top radiator hose to the radiator. There is still an engine oil leak, but I will have to find a way of taking the sump guard off to fix that!

After a lot of work I have two trusses up today by dark (I had to stand on tip toe to get them up)
They are 10feet high

There has been a couple of willy wag tails keeping me company
One bird lets me get as close to about 4 feet before it flits away a little
It must think I am a great provider of insects I disturb
It was only a few minutes after I had the truss up and the bird was perched on it, near the top

I have been building garden sheds screwed to pallets for storage
In between each shed I have put an 8 foot section with roof and rear wall
There will be 5 sheds giving 4 extra storages

In order to put up more garden sheds other “humpy” storages had to be moved
All sorts of engines I have got for projects that never happened.
They were all running when first stored

The newest storage has been made and I shifted the benches and all the parts for the Ford trucks inside out of the weather
I've moved the Ford storage rack onto the piece of concrete near the entry

Even at 7/9 hours a day it seems to take days to get it done all by myself

[Rod Salter]

To put in the next garden shed I have to move all this and there are concrete posts under there too

[Rod Salter]

When I went to assemble the next shed I can't find the roof pieces for it
No problem just get a different shed, simple
But it is not
The next kit has walls 2 inches lower
So I had to pull out the wall I had up and after assembly of the shed, slide it sideways to attach it
Of course it doesn't quite match
Anyway locate and install shelves and start to fill it up with “good handy stuff” I'll probably never use

[Rod Salter]

I have moved some of the wireless truck's parts into the shed
and I relocated the parts for Dad's little Chev into what will be the next storage, so they will have a roof soon
