What Keeps Me Out of the Workshop
awemawson:
Well thankee kindly sir :wave:
The tenants have now moved into the new build, so 'Blossom the Sow' has taken up residence in the new pig sty, and her three daughters have taken over her previous accommodation. This leaves her three sons still in the old water cistern and allows me to differentially feed them, as the boars will be first to go on a one way trip.
Photo's rather dark as the sun hadn't crept round to this point when I was mucking out this morning.

They look great Andrew! :bow: :bow: :bow: :clap:
Any plans for workshop projects, or still too many chores outside?
I haven't yet planted our garden :palm: .

Just tinkering at the moment Steve as I'm loath to launch myself into anything too time consuming - we're still bottle feeding lambs three times a day which is taking a surprising large amount of my time.
Well the next big issue is getting the JCB 803 into decent fettle as I need it to do a bit of tidying up around the place. Went to see it today where it's being fixed up for me. Chap has managed to do a splendid job on the dozer blade welding it back together as it's a sort of double skin affair and the outer skin had peeled back. The hydraulic rotary coupling is out and dismantled and awaiting a seal kit from JCB - when that's refitted and he can move it, all the lower frame and hydraulics are going to be steam cleaned so he can see where the other leak is coming from.
Youngest Daughter's wedding is getting ominously close (July 25th), and before then the place needs making presentable - reception is here for 260 guests :bugeye: with marquee's and hog roasts and all sorts of fandangles. Actual wedding is in Battle Abbey (of 1066 fame) which is only 2 miles away. One of the tasks is another 100 metre length of double fencing to go in ready for native species hedge to be planted in November, as the fence will delineate 'entertainment' from 'camping' areas for the reception.
