Little Steps

Update time, more Concrete and Watches

Got the centre (widest) section of the Car Port concreted, jeez, digging this bugger out was serious graft, and then mixed and laid the concrete last Friday. It's still drying out, ok to walk on but I'm gonna give it 9 days before parking / driving any vehicles over it so won't be any traffic until next Monday at least.
I might do the next biggest section which is where the V12 CLK is currently stood before winter, but got a boot room to build and a catio to finish as soon as the materials are all here....





The 2 remaining Breitling Top Time watches arrived a few days ago, (see up a couple of posts) have been on appraisal in my workshop for a few days and both are working as they should and keeping good time

So, I have put them in my cabinet with the other 2 today, which completes the 4 watch collection.
I thought it was about time I updated the picture of the Display as well so here we are ....







And finally, I managed to bag myself a PAM Bronzo 968 to go with my other Paneraii, it is winging it's way here from China as we speak

I'm waiting on the 10swg Galvy mesh sheets, gotta trim the front edge of the concrete, fit the guttering and the galvy cage door is still in kit form

Then it will get astro turf, and the inside will have stuff to climb and lay on including a tree trunk. They will access it from the house via the utility room window in pic, (which currently doesn't open) but I will be replacing that with an opener later in the week.

These 2 beautiful cats we've had for 4 years since kittens, and they've always been house cats, so they are gonna love it.
Sadly we have lost 2 pets to the main road at the top of our drive, so have other residents, thanks to the ever increasing ass hole tourists who drive through the village at 3 figure speeds, so we aren't risking their little lives this time around.

I actually threw a small rock at one twats screen shortly after a my last wee cat (3 yr old) got splattered, that murdering driver and the rock arse hole didn't stop, had both on my CCTV, but didn't get the number plates because the footage is side on
Rock wanker reported me to the cops, I denied all knowledge and told them to come back when they could prove it, also told them to do something about nicking these wombats as our wee hamlet is now a race track most of the year, there are toddlers in the village, but as usual they did nothing.

I had brought that dear wee boy up from a tiny abandoned feral kitten and he was a really loving little fella

Anyways, nuff of that shit, here's some pics of the Catio and the galvy box steel for the currently kit form door.

If the mesh isn't here by the weekend I'll be welding the door together, hinges etc are on the way. Our patio is right next to it and we spend a lotta time out there, so they will be right next to us ....

Love it, I live on the A6 so none of our cats go out. Down to 2 now from 4 due to old age and illness.We have talked about a catio but the layout of the ground floor doesn't make it easy but they have two floors above and the top of the house gets really warm in the afternoons as it's west facing.

LOL, there's a couple in the sick bay, waiting until I get some spare time, the Blue Navitimer was on my wrist, Pam Bronzo 968 is on it's way from China, and @Karbon74 will be at me soon for some dosh for one of his beautiful builds which will hopefully be sent via my "second wife" who lives in EU

The "new" 12 shelf @10 watches per shelf cabinet above is filling up at an alarming rate, it looks like I'm gonna be building the Mk 3 Mega Cabinet sooner than I thought

Ikea Detolf cheap as chips and you can bodge extra shelves if you need to

I have been given carte blanche to continue the existing theme all the way across that wall, but my goal is the end lounge wall opposite end to the log burner

I am planning on a very expensive bribe this coming Christmas, a nice new MB A Class full AMG spec to replace her "Peasant" ( @Karbon74 ) Ford

Long overdue update ....

The Bronzo package arrived this week, only I don't have one, package was un tampered with, I got it out of the post box and immediately thought this parcel has no watch in it, so I waited for Mel to come home, and asked her to carefully video me opening it etc.

Inside the polystyrene block was a plastic watch bag and a bit of bubble wrap wrapped in foam roll.

Then we checked the video, Mel had forgotten to press the feckin' record button, seller is now saying that he's not sending another watch or refund because I probably took it out first.

THIS WAS AN OFF PISTE BUY, NOT AN RWI TD BTW

So basically I lost a few hunnerid squid, thanks to this scummy shit cxxt but at least it's the first time ever this has happened to me.
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the gusset of his mother

That red dial DSSD turned up and that was such a shitter I made a joke with it by posting it in the wrist shots thread, hey ho, that was my fault, a late night buy and it looked lovely when I was full of mucho alcohol It is currently sat in my workshop awaiting it's fate, I just might decide to bung it's Dial movement etc in another case and buy a bracelet for it,the rest of it is so bad I wouldn't even give it away, but it was ultra cheep cheep

On the up-side my beautiful build by @Karbon74 a blue Blancpain x Swatch 50 fathoms arrived today and the current bun is out so I'll have our patio finished by this weekend with the Astro Turf







Be back soon
