Well who knows, with a little luck and some pushing (not allways figuratively speaking) and shoving, you might end up driving both your projects this year.
It'll be a quiet forum then...

Andy hates building them.
Used to enjoy it, but I've just spent too long in garages & sheds. I've got no intention of ever selling the current builds, so hopefully they'll eventually get to the point where they just need maintenance.
I'd like to try metal sculpture or wood carving though -something I can do just for enjoyment with no deadlines.

Taking a day off from the garage today -feels like I've got a cold coming on & really can't be arsed -got really cold stood in there all day yesterday. Still a few bits on the outside I want to smooth, plus the inside, at least around the dashboard area where I'll be looking at it all the time. So will do that this week in the afternoons & aim to start painting it next weekend. Wondering if I can rent a gas heater anywhere?

Is a gas heater a good idea when you're painting? Have you forgotten that one of the products of combustion is water?
And what about the vapour from your rattlecans, isn't that flammable?

Yeah, you're right Bobbi. I never spray with the heat actually on, just use it to warm the garage first. Not much I can do about the moisture. I've got a couple of those moisture traps, full of alkaline crystals, in each garage -it's surprising how much water they collect out of the air.

With this snow we are now getting,you should take tomorrow off as well. You won't feel like doing anything after wandering around in this lot on delivery.

Wet feet & cold right through to the bone. Some Post Office depots, (including Panther Shaun's in Tunbridge Wells, Kent), have closed because of the weather. Our managers' verdict? -you drove into work, so you can drive out on delivery. I left the car at home today & walked in.
Occurred to me today that I ought to cover the engine on the Pop. It's been run about a year ago with antifreeze in it, but had 2 leaking core plugs, so most of it drained back out. It's been sat ever since. It'd be just my luck to finish the rebuild then find the block's cracked.
