Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

So Miss Katy was spending the weekend getting her youngest chicken off to and settled in Bournemouth University, so it meant a weekend to myself to get a load of stuff sorted at home.
The plan did actually include some truck time, which ultimately did not happen.

Still, the hedges and shrubs plus garden beds are ready for winter.

So this morning was my first bootfair in 4 weeks.

I found a few bits and this treasure......

No idea what it's worth to someone who wants it, but interestingly, there is no dialling code on the phone number.






Also found this cactus had delivered its 3rd flower ever after being put outside for being ill.



Then got started building, prepping the parts of the water feature and raised flower bed that Katy wants in her back yard.

Decided to recess the water pipe and electrical feed, so created a groove.



Decided to put my special number mark on it too.



Tap fitted.



Eventually filled the groove with sawdust and wood glue mix..



Then created the sides and rear of the raised sleeper bed Katy wants.



Followed by a thick coat of shed paint.



Next update in a while.
