Let's see those side projects...

One thing I always notice is the lack of progress on our builds do to side jobs or the dreaded honey do list so why not show em. I think it would be interesting to see some of the work outside of our cars, lots of talent around here.

I'm calling my car done so I'm not necessarily being held up but here's a couple little projects I'm either doing or did lately.

Our house has an overhang that kept this area dry and dusty so the wife wanted something done to make it usable. I went ahead and plumbed propane under the pad for the fire ring in the table...... kids love Smores!

The other is my Ferguson, rebuilt it a few years ago but am finally finishing the hood and making fenders for it. The previous owner had torched holes threw the hood, dropped a tree on it and misplaced the grill so quite a bit of work.

'42 Harley army bike. Some previous owner civilian-ized it. Flathead with a whopping 5.5:1 compression & 24hp! Sent to Russia in WWII under the lend lease program, imported back again in '04. Its next in line after the Road Runner is back on the road.

Yep. I made every one of them. When you've always wanted a lifesize Creature but are too cheap to pay $10,000+ for one, you figure out how to make one yourself.

Those are my sons Sean and Chris in the pic. The older guy is Sean Pertwee, who played the lead role in the movie Dog Soldiers, which is where the werewolf is from. Pertwee was at the Walker Stalker convention in Orlando last year and we took the wolf down so he could sign him. I've never seen a guy so happy with my work. He was bringing all his Gotham co-stars over to see it and posed for a ton of pictures with it.

Building a 10X12 with an 8ft overhang on the back at the new house. Finished the 6ft privacy fence seen in the background a couple months ago.

Some long overdue tree trimming and rebuilding of a fence. I waited until the A-Holes next door moved out....didn't want to benefit them in any shape or form. now that we have new neighbours (very nice people) I got 'er done. Took a weekend to demo the trees - approx 1.5 tonnes of tree shreddings. And a mere 18 minutes to demo the fence including loading it into the skip next door. The lady next door and offered me food, help, gave me some Chinese Tea, and offered to pay half of the fence.
More work to do on the fencing either side, but the main job is done for now - it's Winter now, so will be painting towards September (Spring) and do some more planting. I have some retaining wall work to do where the trees came out of, and re-planting a more controllable hedge line, and space it a little better in relation to the fence.
The first pic from across the street was taken a few days after Christmas 2014.
