DIY Garden Edging - part 1

This is the 3rd time I am replacing the 'treated' pine edging purchased from Bunnings.

Back in 2019 council contractors cut down our lovely nature strip tree, apparently it was infected?

Just needed a spray on one branch.

Kitchen cast iron cookware

Shoppers rush to get their hands on Kmart's stylish new $30 cast iron pot - and it looks JUST like the Le Creuset version that costs $450

I have quite a collection from the ALDI Crofton range, maybe to many and recently gifted my older daughter the Cast Iron French Pan

Possum Dray - Oops

Forgot to include a emergency exit - back door!
















If a cat, fox, snake or whatever knocks on the front door there's no way for them to escape!

Workshop - MDF storage unit.

Making a MDF storage unit to store these hand tools.

Al's YouTube Channel-

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.

Another new toy for kitties.
