OK… I have got the ‘work area’ of the garage fairly clean. There is more to do, but it is mostly there. A lot of stuff has been thrown out, and the floor and benches have been swept and vacuumed. Why vacuum? Well, it causes less dust to get into the air, and works fairly well. I have an old vacuum that I just use in the garage. When I was doing work at Royal North Shore Hospital building a TV studio I used the vacuum there and had to repair the main switch at one stage. Following the repair it is now working really well. You can see a photo of the cleaned workshop in the photo below.

Tomorrow I will take a few carloads of junk to the local tip. That should be fairly easy – most of it is in the trailer at the moment. So why take the car? Well, it is usually $7.50 for my car, and a minimum of $30 for a trailer at the tip. And the other problem is that I dont have a tow bar. This is something that I have been meaning to fix, but I still dont have one. I can fit a lot in my car when the back seats fold up.

I didn’t end up going running today. Slack you say? Well, instead I moved about 6 large wheelbarrow loads of compost from the back yard to the front lawn and spread it out. I think that was more of a work out than a run. It certainly felt like it.

Building

It looks like I will be working on the plane on sunday and monday… It will be good to get more work done on it, as I have not touched the plane for probably a month or so… Both Richard and I have been really busy.
