My 'Turning fence palings into dressed timber clip 1' got over 9000 views

Note: My main reason for using YouTube is because my basic WordPress paid account does not allow for direct video uploads to wordpress.com - they need to be hosted on some other external site.

When I want to post videos to my WordPress blog I first upload to YouTube then grab the embed code and past that into my blog post using Open Live Writer.

Possum dray - part 4

From the last session we are ready to cover the top basket with shade mesh. My main reason for doing this is to prevent or at least curtail attempts by birds to nick the coco to add their own nesting material collection.

Working my way around to evenly fold and hold with clips.

Did not get much done in Part 2 so here my cold hands spent more time out of the pockets - doing stuff.


From part 2 we can now remove that centre wire.

As posted bought two of these wire baskets with coco lining from ALDI.

While plodding through ALDI Scoresby this afternoon came across these hanging baskets @ five bucks each - grabbed two.

Camera photos backup

Besides the usual Win10 backup I also do a manual file copy to USB HDD using the DOS XCOPY command.

Started taking digital photos way back in 1998 with the purchase of a Agfa ePhoto 1680 Digital Camera. Was expensive something like $1,600 bucks!

Auto fill/recycle bird bath–alterations

The birdbath is close to the workshop so decided to do away with the car battery and bring all the electrics inside and run from a 12V power supply. Loosing light and then had a double injury to the right wrist so we'll have to come back in the morning - that's fine.

Running a 12V power cable in some old electrical conduit into the workshop.
