I nearly missed this post. About mowers... I have 3 old mowers that haven't been used for years. My work hours didn't leave much time for lawn maintenance, so we've been paying someone to do it for many years now. The plan is... To eliminate the need to mow the lawn in the backyard...

...Yep, it's fake. [emoji20] It's not quite finished - we need to brush more sand into it, but the weather has turned a bit unpredictable. The sand and the artificial turf need to both be dry to do the infill. We got some worked in - here's Lyn working at it... It all has some sand...

The draught really knocked our "lawn" around, so we decided to replace it in the backyard. The previous pics were taken last week, this is what it looks like now... Sent from my SM-G950F using The Garage Journal mobile app

Hey Steve, only foot traffic. Thanks for dropping in. Seeing as someone's watching... I'd better continue the story... Sent from my SM-G950F using The Garage Journal mobile app

I discovered one rotten egde board (I broke it when I drove the mini-loader across it). I couldn't find a suitable replacement, so I ripped a treated pine sleeper to size... I then dug a channel for a concrete retaining strip (visible in the above pics). Sent from my SM-G950F using The...

Hey Andy, great score with the "new" tractor. [emoji106] Maybe it's time for another building - you could make a big "tractor-port" (no walls - just a roof) and bring them all in. [emoji4] I'm going to have to catch up on Don's thread now to see what he scored on his trip to Oklahoma...

Is there anything that you can't do Andy? [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950F using The Garage Journal mobile app

Hey Bob, good work repairing the termite damage in the shed. [emoji106] I hate working behind any dash - I would imagine that it would be tight quarters in a 'Vette. The feather board looks like a great idea - although if there was "no bloodshed", perhaps you should ask Shorty about the...

Like the term or not, there's a lot of "continuous improvement" going on here. Not that your castings were ever lacking in quality. Great work Andy. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950F using The Garage Journal mobile app

Yup, that pretty much sums it up. I'm always in awe of your work Don. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950F using The Garage Journal mobile app

3 "legs" on the base of the crucible would negate the bowing. I wouldn't worry about the pitting until aluminum started leaking from it. [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G950F using The Garage Journal mobile app

While catching up on your thread, I was saddened to read about the loss of your friend. There's seldom a good way or good time to die, particularly for family and friends. My condolences Andy. Sent from my SM-G950F using The Garage Journal mobile app

I must admit, he does seem to stick around to clean up when he's finished. My current project during coffee breaks is trying to catch up on your thread. Thanks for dropping in Andy. Sent from my SM-G950F using The Garage Journal mobile app
