Sally is a bit of a menace with her camera, but sometimes it does make me chuckle
Sunday early.
Back to random little jobs that steal time.
Fitting the new cooling fan to the motor.
I started by carefully filing out the inside to get it to slide onto the axle, fail.
So measuring the axle showed 16mm and fan15mm so one of the old large drills I saved years ago was ground down to 13mm to fit the chuck on the pillar drill.
Hey Presto !
Hammer persuasion.
Cover on, tested, all good.
Sally had been bugging me for weeks to strip back and paint the BBQ table made from the garden gate last year.
Unfortunately all the layers of paint and varnish had started peeling badly, having stood outside in all weathers.
So I told her she could sort it out.
Carried the table onto the lawn, gave her a steel brush and some fence paint......
Result.
Another Sally generated job, the BBQ I built 9 years ago has started to show its age.

So the plan was to strip back just the tiles on the work surface.....
Ooooppps.... mistake.
Suddenly the wood frames looked rubbish, so I tore apart what was built not to be replaced.
Managed to get repair sections in.
Ideally would have loved some resilient marble or synthetic all weather replacement material in place of the tiles, but will get that figured later.
Now the doors were clearly looking rubbish.
Guess they need replacing too. Took them off.
Repurposed and cut down to become floors to holes, will keep kindling etc dry.
Busy week ahead, though it’s Wednesday morning already So not much will happen with dy job stuff getting in the way.
Doors to make up next, once I find some wood to use.
