This is what my mate Louis does for a living, 32' Cornish Pilot Gig This is his latest commission that is bound for Ireland. He did tell me what it is but in one ear out the other. A work of art just the same.

Rode home from work (brrr). Filled up my fuel tank and then actually hosed my bike down when I got home. First time ever, Just to get all the white shit off the thing (salt city)!! I thought best to hose it in the afternoon as if I wait my new neighbour will be home from work and he is always standing at his open door or in his garage with the door open. He's a smoker and I think the real house owner has forbidden him to smoke indoors. He always seems to be there when ever I step out my front door, even late at night and I can't stand an audience all the time. On the plus side his parking is excellent and I can get my bike in and out of the garage at any time without moving my car. Next time I ride the bike (Friday) I am off to Norfolk for the weekend via B roads. Shame it's winter, won't be able to check out toe numbers on the locals.

O Guardião, or The Guardian watching over the ocean in Ericeira, as I left this morning to go by a client and then up north for a while at my parents

I made the bar and tables (ones on the right with benches) for a local brewery. Did 8 tables with two benches each and two "L" shaped bars that were put together like a square. Took me over 2 months to do - one of my bigger projects . Still have some left over beer that they gave me...

Quite possibly yes, well I got up to Glasgow without falling asleep....just now it's off to Newhouse co-op to pick up a couple of wagons for the auction at sandtoft though hopefully we can stop overnight at the yard and the them down tomorrow

During and after install of some barn doors. Panels and frame made from alder (neither soft nor hardwood - kinda in the middle) and handles made from scrap rebar I had in the shop. I made the slide as well - it kinda looks like a piece of 1/4" X2" steel because it is ...

I have to agree.....and possibly gay.

More pics while making ...

Perhaps he has some sort of deal going with @Six30

Rode past @XTremecar today https://goo.gl/maps/CF2ZQfZLsjrURebe7

i like contemporary art ... done this one this morning , i just imagine stuff and painted it.

Pics of you making em or it didn’t happen

I watched yesterdays event but like you say it fizzled out once slowly ran out of Prosecco so nothing needed to be done.

It looks good on the CV of a 64 year old retired person

Mods … they’ve done nothing for this forum , pair of dossers

Today I have mostly been painting my eldest daughters bedroom. I fucking hate painting, so in a grumpy stop at the moment. They have all left me well alone. Going up my mates after dinner to measure a couple of things on his CB500F, with a view to farkling mine a little. Then more painting

That was my plan with building the bike garage attached tothe house if either of us get to bad to go upstairs it will make a tidy sized bedroom

People using my pictures will be banned from taking part.

We looked at down sizing a couple of years ago but the price of a bungalow was far more money than what we have now. So, Mandi decided we'd extend the front room which sounds totally daft but we can see a time when she's really going to struggle with stairs and mobility so we came then move her down there.

I was looking at maps of my weekend route and this cracking name for a small wood leapt off the page at me.

The Sunbeam version with the Lotus engine wasn't bad , when it was working

Oooo look!.......a Talbot/Chrysler Horizon. what a bag of shit they were, I know cos I had one. My choice of cars ain't improved much over the years.

It’s arty talk … you wouldn’t know

Looks more like @Tym on his Tomos.

Your brush strokes are wrong, your absolutes are inconsistent and your appositives are shifted out of order. Go back to your crayon work .............

If I got into that game I'd be able to get the Transit of my dreams!

Cheapest shit I could find as they were broke. This was all beetle kill pine - soft as shit. I made the table frames with steel supports so I could switch out the pine when it went to shit... but 6 years later and they haven't crapped out yet.

Showing off with your proper length springs I see.

Looking good, I would love to be able to do that sort of thing. My father was a boat builder and that was the sort of thing he did when his real work was slow. I can do it but not with the speed or immense skill he had. Problem here is real seasoned timber is prohibitively expensive for any sort of home projects. Funnily enough my father in law was also a boat builder and a very clever man, I have a good friend now who still does it. I'll find some pictures of his stuff. I think he is a genius.

Jesus H Chroist that was cold, just got back from my mates house. I popped up there a few hours ago in the sunshine, didn’t bother with my over trousers as I only was going for a chat 4 cups of tea later rode home as the sun is going down. Can’t feel anything below the waist at the moment, the heated grips played a blinder though.

Maybe Pedro could help.

Nice skills @Earache, I wish I could do that but me and wood are not buddies ...................... waits for some insinuating remark ........................

The side stand springs arrived from Fowlers last week so I fitted them today. I works nicely now, just need to give it a ride over some rough stuff ..............

I have a niece who's renting in brizzle with her boyfriend. They've got a 1 bedroom flat and they're paying crazy money for it! One of the rules about advertising accommodation here is that for a room to be considered to be a bedroom it must 9m² minimum and also a minimum ceiling height, which I can't remember what it is, but it's what you'd consider a reasonable height. My house in the UK was classed as 4 bedroom, but the smallest "bedroom" was barely big enough for a standard single bed, with little room for anything else! We used it as a guitar and storage room! Good luck with your search.

Nope....I am sure his name was not Gloria.

I dunno there was a bit of flexing at the beginning which was entertaining. Seem to remember someone threatening something about deleting posts that were off topic and summink else about shutting down a conversation that was going awry. I like their hands off approach.

Depending on which lender/source you listen to they are due to drop 5-10% by the end of the year!! But like @boboneleg says not in Brizzle. The demands high and they seem reasonably insulated. Even if they aren’t the prices are predicted to recover by 2024. The place I saw today were asking 320k for a one bed! They said it was two but it became clear they are describing the living room as a bedroom! Heyho. Mr Slowly went into one estate agents in Clifton and tore them a new arsehole cos he’s rung them 5 times requesting a viewing and each time they say yeah yeah sure and don’t bother to get back to us! A sure sign they’re not desperate for work and the Brizzle market is good.

I do not mind doing the emulsion painting, but gloss painting doors I hate.

Address…. I’m booking that

It’s wine and music time Pedro, the olds have fallen asleep… again

You underestimate yourself, your crayon work is up there with the finest ..................

Misty, cloudy and cold (3c) here......wife's (FB) friend in Majorca says they are having it a bit rough with the cold and snow, but she does live up in the Tramuntana (spelt wrong ) mountains.

Yeh.....he has to move, and the company is helping him look for places there.

Got to leave earlyish tomoz and go into Brizzle again for another bloody viewing. I like the one I’m going to see tomorrow a lot, hope it’s the one cos it feels like wading through treacle. And estate agents make me feel like I need to wash
