I Noticed Andrew!  they are bloody hard arent they! When I was working on the 3 point on mine I had to really pound the pins to  get them out of the fixed/sliding part of the arms, to my amazement they did not swell one iota, and are now back where they were originally put in 1955! Tractor seems to be fine, I may get another cut sometime next week, and then I will know for sure, but you can bet I will be checking the water before I start it, to make sure it hasn't gone anywhere else, and opening the decompressor to clear the cylinders before I start it! Having said that, a friend of mine in the next village ran a Major for many years with leaky liners, and used to drain the coolant into a container when he had finished with it, and put it back immediately before next use, it only leaked when it was stood!

Hi all!
We continue with the kennel building, and finally get the measure of it! The first thing you do with any sort of construction, is start from a level site! There are no level sites in Langtoft so we have to build level(ish) on a slope, but using square front galve bar panels with doors in, which means we get the effect of terraced houses that run up a hill, each is higher than the last! Once we complete the first one and get some diagonal strenghteners in, it all falls into place, and continues apace Tuesday we go to Millington woods for my  wifes Birthday treat, and spend a wonderful after noon almost by ourselves in woodland so secluded we almost failed to find it! The only other people there happened to be, coincidentally, one of my Daughters uni mates, and a fun day out was had by all!

Hi all! It has been really hot, so if I don't make a lot of sense through the video it is the heat getting to me! 30 deg C on Friday, and we gave up trying to work!We salvaged a load more wood and cleared more mess up to get it! Kennel number 1 is complete less roof, and we are going for a finish in the cooler weather forecast for next week. We are both exhausted!

Another very hot week of  field work on the kennels, which thank the lord are nearing completion! Now we know the construction method we can get straight on to construction without too much thinking time! Enjoy my cab ride in the engine at the Yorkshire Wolds railway! Unlike most heritage railways, this one has been rebuilt in an empty field where there used to be a railway line from Driffield  to Malton, no taking over an existing line and rolling  stock fror these true enthusiasts, they started with nowt and have created a railway out of it! Look them up  @YWRailway   and come for a look and a ride! Tell them  I sent you!!

Hi all!
A week of steamy tropical humidity, not easy to work in, and we had to struggle on! Days missed due to rain and hospital  appointments, But still we persevere! This week we have the luxury of a cameraman for a day, so you get to see me and cousin Keith actually working! If we don't get this project finished by next friday we will both go insane, , some would say it is far too late for that, others would throw there hands in the air and wander off muttering under their breath, I seem to do a lot of muttering lately......
Phil, in the East Yorkshire rain forest, slowly steaming!
