yes Mags ..... they're bloody good lights, fair play :cool:

will be glad to get the other end of the cabling all routed and connected up .....
waiting on me cable clips to arrive :vissla:

... hopefully tomorrow, :???:

but have a funeral to attend at 1.30, so the day's shot :sad:

ex colleague of my father's, who I have/had known a long time :sad:

A real nice bloke, but not been well for some time and we all have to go eventually :vissla:

My dad would've been 92 at the beginning of this month, so Bob must've been in his eighties :smile:

Bob on the left ... my dad on the right :thumme:

...... just getting the last one applied and clamped, when Yodel's driver turned up with me cable clamps :hurra:

I'd used all me light clamps, so t'other gate was gonna have to wait anyway, 'til the first one was dry .. so cable time :grin:

Boss was happy with 'em not going behind the down pipe ... said it'd look odd :huh:

... so they went here ..... :thumme:

bit of a struggle, getting the clamps nicely spaced, due to the nature of the masonry and having sufficiently large enough lumps to fix to ..... the best possible from a difficult scenario .. :vissla:

having gotten to the top, there was sod all in the way of solid enough masonry, to contain yon python in its preferred route, so it had to be attached to the soffit and purlins above :huh:

boss is happy with it and realised (for once), :vissla:

it was not an easy job :svettas:

..... even managed to get it all through an opening in the wall and into the attic space ...... with a struggle :svettas:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans%202/WP_20190320_16_38_36_Pro_zpshl6bibkp.jpg

if I get sick of looking at it on the soffit, I can always box it with a suitably cut/rebated timber strip and give it some Sadolin to camouflage it :smile:

had to venture into the spider's lair, in the attic space, to make sure the cable ends I'd persuaded in there, weren't 'shaking hands' with anything they shouldn't be ... they weren't ..... :cool:

next up is sorting all the various junctions and connections required ..... and coercing some 10mm tails down into the consumer, (which is a 'pig's guts :eek:

- (would like to meet whoever wired it :sad:

), to feed everything, once I've wrestled it all into place :klia:

.....
I still have to maintain my current catenary supply to me boxes, 'til it's all ready to be disconnected, prior to a move and I don't have a lot of space, or juggle room, for all the tails, where they all appear in there :huh:

A couple of boards required for a bit of comfort .... trying to balance on 4 x 2,s, with limited headroom, is a recipe for disaster ...... I do not need to be repairing a ceiling as well .....
so first job in the morning is find some suitable bits of ply :thumme:

..... that'll fit through what is not the greatest of loft access holes, into what is not the biggest of attic spaces .....
good progress though .. on the home straight....... for this bit anyway

The time all these fiddly, pissy about bits take is unbelievable though

been a lovely day here .... and we had one of our sunsets tonight :grin:

hopefully another nice day in the morning ..... not as I'll see a lot of it ... stuck in an attic space for a while :vissla:

Another dry morning, which meant another assault on a certain job for SWMBO :huh:

and 'fore anyone says bottom left is cock eyed .... 'swhere I was told it had to go :???:

Boss - well happy ......... me - can't believe the time it took, to get today's batch cleaned and stuck in place :eek:

07:45 kick off with the little 'un tomorrow, so might get a few hours in the roof space, once she's been delivered to nursery at 09:00 :thummar:

Need to create some bum parking space first ...... just about killed my knees up there the other day on the 4 x 2,s ... and as said previously ... do not want to be repairing ceilings!!!!! :sad:

Message from the guy who bought the 1520 Hydrema yesterday ..... did I have any issues getting spare keys cut for mine? :???:

..... Hydrema want 50 odd quid for spares !! :sad:

so he sent me a pic of his to see if they were similar ..... :vissla:

Boss happy to have 'em all stuck in place .... talking about a few more for the top right corner now !!!!!!! :eek:

Kids up from Plymouth for the weekend ... missed the road disruptions such as they were and they'd all gone out for the day
so time to drag the mowers out for a good clean off and service .... been dry and mild-ish for days and forecast to last another 10-ish days ATM :grin:

Countax deck off first ... in it's usual state :huh:

... gets done two or three times a season as it builds up rapidly and then doesn't cut properly, no matter how much I clear out after each cut .... it still accumulates :sad:

spotless going back on and well oiled ... try and stop it sticking ... never works though ...... damned sight lighter coming back off the bench :thummar:

oil sorted .. and the few nipples on it filled .... :smile:

can't stop the bloody grass getting into the belt guard under this lil' sod :aaargh:

.... good scrape off, blast out, touch up the blade with the grinder and a coat of oil under the deck ..... oil change and back in the shed :driver:

refit the battery on the Dane .... have had 'em all off, all winter on trickle charger/conditioner regularly ..... paid dividends :thumme:

.... The Dane can be a bitch to start, but went off pretty well for a change :cool:

.... another good blast off with the air, a scrape as necessary, where I could get at it, greased and oils done .... she's ready for action ........ :thummar:

...... soon as the ground gets a bit harder, beside the drive :???:

...... if I can drive my heel into it, the herring bone treads'll rip it up, so I'll give it a few more days yet :vissla:

Not looking too bad ..... again, courtesy of said sheep :lmao:

She could do with a wash off, but I'll leave that 'til it's a bit warmer .... and sunnier, so's it'll dry off a bit quicker than it would ATM ..... it may be dry, but warm it ain't :sad:
