Tonight was the task of getting the Shecan ‘tucked’ into place and load the new media blaster.
We were aided by our neighbour with his forklift and we were able to place in in the desired space.
We then moved in the new blaster and will do final assembly.

Wow, over 2 hours to get thru this from the beginning.
What an absolutely stunning transformation. You guys do overbuild, but the result is fantastic. The ONLY thing that killed me was the dark stain on the cedar installed on the back wall. I like Lloyd's bathroom door better...

Following the theme of over design and overbuild a retaining was is being erected in our back lot to avoid any slides from our neighbours. We also need to address the large whole created by eradication our invasive Japanese knotweed. It’s been 4 years since we Doug it out and there appears to be no more infestation.
We applied numerous Gallons of Round Up but it was not doing the job.
Last summer a ‘guy’ was introduced to us who came and applied a secret formula that eradicated the knotweed. Don’t know what it was but no more knotweed and the crows that fly nearby now have three testicles.
Photos of the retaining wall are attached with the forms up and the fittings in. The concrete pour will occur next weekend.

Beyond these minor improvements the shop now gets used for what it was renovated for, restoring cars.

'

Crazy Knotweed and problems it's causing worldwide, so great you've got it killed off!
How much will the upper face of the poured block angle outwards or is something more being added on top?
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing this stuff!

~ Pete
