Try saying that 20 times in a row! Looking forward to seeing the finished 'secret' project.

Rhian, is this your old Blazer? At the Makers event thing at the NEC.

Also, those little dumpers have a special place in my heart.... spent hours and hours as a kid watching the builders do my parent's road.... mostly done with one of them. Always great watching them reverse a dolly-type wheeled cement mixer was awe inspiring as a kid.

I'm between Oxford and Swindon. Spoil is one of those things that just grows a surprising amount! A few pictures might help get the scale of it... Dug out the entire grass area enough for ~6" of compacted type 1 and about 1.5-2" of gravel. So that was probably somewhere around 8" deep average...

Gutted that I'm not closer! Any excuse to sit on a digger :D . Added 60something m2 to Mom and Dad's drive last year, although not concrete, we had two grab lorry loads out of there, one full and one nearly full. Spoil adds up in volume very quickly! Have you got somewhere friendly you can tip...

I never cease to be amazed at how utterly wasteful some people are. Some good finds there!

Those wheels look great on there!

I thought of you and the resin rocket the other day as there was I think the same kit in an advert for 'Cinch':

Those wheels came out beautifully! :) Sorry to hear about the lodger problems... must be even worse after the decent ones you've had.

Nice score on the mirrors Rian. Mud Stuff make/sell some great quality parts in the land rover world. Little note on your crimping for the fog light, the two little bits furthest from the business end of the crimp should be onto the insulation of the cable. So a bit less stripped back.

Think he's meaning the PAS hose protection.

Where do I start? Came across the thread originally back in maybe May/June 2020 when I started working from home and started reading. Got my work laptop around then and ended up not using the PC much and started reading again over christmas so have only finished reading the last ~70 or so...

IMO K&N and their equivalents only have a place on a track only car. They're renowned for letting dust and **** through. By being more free flowing than certain paper filters just means theres more space for dust and dirt to follow. You've also then got it pulling in warm air which doesn't help...

That's looking amazing!

Great to see you guys keeping well. Loved reading about the Route66 trip. It also made me think of The film Cars. Sadly as a society globally way too many people just up and abandon the old. Be it a car for the latest model, technology or historical stuff. Glad to see a lot has been preserved...

Looking forward to seeing updates as you renovate it!

I love what you've done in the small space. For me i enjoy looking at all the different sized ones from a small shed or single garage through to a mega warehouse style. :)

Caught up again on the last 20 or so pages! Loving the details on the house build. Like all the work you do everything is all planned out to the nth degree. Keep up the good work! The CAT used by the concrete crew is what we would call a telehandler, as is the other one you're using. They're...

The builder.

Looking great, love the cantilevered stairs! Fascinating to see all the form work for it too. Quick concrete question for you though... whats a rough ball-park figure for the time it takes concrete to dry/cure? My parents are extending the utility room into the garage and the garage floor level...
