Today on Stupid Feckers .....
Windy and peeing down all day .. forecast to get worse .. one of my black poplars blew over - and wiped another tree out in the process ..
Decided a day inside was boring so started stripping the little pond deck/jetty thing as it's rotten and I keep putting it off when it's not raining - because, well, there's always more fun things to do ! ..
This was very exciting work ... not ...
Class 4 deck and timbers, but anywhere with limited air circulation underneath was rotting/rotted ...
The dog helped when it wasn't pissing down ..
Unfortunately .. I found the dam was also rotten to feck .. I actually changed it about 15 years ago but at the time could only find oak boards and not chestnut - must have been pretty crap oak too ... greenheart would have been nice, but where the feck do you find greenheart ?
Trying a different approach this time, I cut a sheet out of reinforced concrete ... which seemed f.ing heavy..
Then posed with the problem of either putting all the pond water into a bucket whilst I changed the dam or creating a local gravitational distortion field, I chose the latter as the one bucket I seem to own at the moment was already full of rain water.
That's as far as I got as I'm soaked and shagged and needed a beer.
In other news on "I'm an Idiot, leave me here" ... from the weekend.
I couldn't be arsed moving tonnes of crap to one of my nature/crap piles, so I played a new game called "just how much can you get in an incinerator?"
Lazyness has clearly taken hold as that was run in parallel with "Piss off a 1980's hairdresser - can you use a Vitara as a skidder when the logs feel too heavy to move by hand"
Skid baby skid ... really needs the log nose lifting, but that would require making something .. and, well ... lazy ..
I guess I need another beer now ....
