Whenever I see interesting terrain like that, I think how the GasGas would go there

Skiver! Mine’s been done for two weeks. Thankfully. Nearly saw me off.Taipan wrote: Fri Sep 19, 2025 9:33 am Putting the first half of the decking down today. Not foreseeing any problems and have my 82 year old step f-i-l helping me. He'll turn up in full ppe including steel toe capped boots no doubt!
Rest of the weekend is under a bit of a cloud as my wife's baby, sorry, French Bulldog isn't too well, so we are unlikely to be going anywhere until she recovers. Ho hum..
Have a better one everybody!

Re: Friday thread, the middle Sept wet one.
Nice job there. Mine is shite. 
Started yesterday and my 82 year old f-i-l who insisted he help me, realised his age and decided he'd rather talk than do anything. As he was widowed this year and is lonely I went with the chat.
Today I thought I'd crack on and get it done, but my daughter turned up as her other half had gone to the footie. I did eventually carry on, but found a lot of the planks were bowed rather than straight. I devised a genius way of securing the ends then screwing down a block midway and then levering the bowed place against the spacers.
I was so pleased I took a picture of my innovative method and showed my skilled carpenter/kitchen fitter mate, who lol'ed and said thats what everyone does with bowed planks, you plank! 
Took the wind out of my sails...

Re: Friday thread, the middle Sept wet one.
Respect for the 5am start, that’s dedication. At least your boy can nap through the early hours while you’re driving. Hope the trails stay rideable and you both enjoy the weekend.
