How to build a carport

Stirngs and braces!






















Hello all,
Today Eric started the carport erection. I am watching and learning. I am also helping as it is a job that needs extra hands to hold spirit levels and mix concrete etc. Susan did a heap of weeding in the garden and then headed inside to sort out the fridge and the pantry.
The green house here has a boiler fired by compressed brown coal pellets.There is a lot of left over dust here i.e. tonnes which is not useable. I googled up this video and made some bricks today. I am not confident as they seem a bit crumbly but I will wait until they set  before I declare it a failure. If it doesn't work i will have a think about different recipes.
Susan replaced some broken zips on a pair of my shorts and trousers tonight with velcro. Should be good for a laugh the first time i have to "unzip" in a public toilet!
I finished my antenna to useable status but i need to make it look a bit more asthetic before i publish the picture. We are also in a very good signal area at the moment so it is hard to gauge how effective it is.
We are having a day off tomorrow so i think a visit to the caves at Mole Creek then through Launceston to the West Tamar is a good plan.

night folks

Cheers

Simon
