#2118 Saturday 3rd September

 Saturdays follow a set pattern ..... Naomi goes off to work while Kaylia and I sleep in!  Then we eventually get up and the first item .... after breakfast etc .... is a drive to Ellenbrook where Kaylia is able to visit the first op shop of the weekend. (It's only on weekends that she is allowed to buy DVDs.)  Then K and I have lunch and head home.  Naomi comes home then and we all head off to the next two op shops .... more DVDs at each ..... then home again.  I then have about two hours of shed time!


Today I'm servicing the Subaru .... oil change, new brake disc pads and a new front axle.  The disc rotors are ok but I'll replace them next time the pads have to be replaced. 

The shed is very satisfying place for me as I've got it well organised and I know where to find each tool that's needed.  I have a good selection of equipment and it's unusual for me to find that I don't have the tools needed. This weekend is the annual "verge collection" so we've been carting everything possible up to the road verge ready for the shire collection.


Bob ..... I'm still waiting for the next inspection by the engineer.  The process (of gaining the issue of a certificate) must be nearing completion because each time the items that need to be fixed are more and more finicky! This certificate is required before I can have the vehicle inspected for registration.  I've been working on this for 9 months now.  I'm thinking that I'll be doing well to have Bob road-worthy before Christmas.  

During the past few days I've constructed a storage compartment under the body. This is made of sheet aluminum and the space is accessed from inside the body. Eventually I plan to make another plus fit a water storage system.  The compartment that I've just made is to house the built-in air compressor and all the tyre tools.
