The Clock is Now Ticking

Recommended Posts

You are bang on Mac.

Small moments when I thought about starting the chainsaw to take a fence post out and thinking, oh well, I'll just fix it later!

The fork lift struggled to hold its position on the slope to lower the KK. It kept skidding backwards and needed to use the crate grounded to help brake, then the slope angle wouldn't allow him to set it and back out without tipping the KK.

We had to pull two gates off their hinges.

The ply bowed, wobbled and creaked under the weight. 

My mate in the photo couldn't believe we placed it on the deck without incident. He will be talking about this event for years and knows I've been smitten on the KK's for a long time.

All part of a fun journey. 

Now I have to practice producing some good food.

Queens birthday long weekend here so I'll line up a burn in and maybe roast some lamb on the way through.

Also, grand final NRL this weekend with the Raiders playing the Roosters and we have a German exchange student arriving on Sunday...... Action packed.

Love the "support log" under the plywood.   Where there is a will.....there is a way!!!!!!! 

That “just in case” log was needed as the ply bowed. I could feel it under foot.
Tekobo these kk’s in real life look too pretty to light a fire in it. I’ll just gaze at it for a little longer before burning in with some Chook thighs today, and my mates home grown lamb shoulder tomorrow.

So how does a pro (i.e. Aussie) prepare lamb shoulder?

Nice lookin cook Basher.  I noticed that you did a fine job on slicing to open up the leg for extra penetration for your spice, looks well to display if only for the picture and then...all gone.  The inside color of your refractory is a tan, I could be mistaken and that may have been caused by the coal and wood chips you use but it is unusual. I do believe mine was a clean white presentation so maybe Dennis is using a different supplier or someone slipped in some dye. ANYHOW it won't stay that purdy much longer. Looks like your enjoying the new toy

The pour went down today, second pour Saturday week to set the steps and fill block work. Block work is set this coming week.

This job keeps getting bigger.
That’s 13m3 of concrete into a small city back yard.

That’s a lot of concrete but at least you’re progressing. It looks great!

Sorry if this bores you.

Steps poured on Monday- found some stones with fossilised ferns for the steps.

Chippies start also on Monday.

Stone mason starts Tuesday.

Haha, thanks all.
The neighbours are fabulous.
Young couple renting next door and grant us access across their property to get into our back yard.
Their oldest boy Fin watches the comings and goings from 6am.
Puts his boots on and want to help the tradies.

Great tradies who are happy to indulge the young fella.
