Call that full...I can show you full. LolI've started moving everything back into the shed and looks like i need a bigger shed
I got the car lift into its pit and it fitted perfectlyyou would have thought i'd have actually checked it fitted before now wouldn't you!! I had to dig both my 205s out of the snow last week as my CTI was sat ontop of it but after a few hours i managed to lever it into place on my own.
Anyway i also plugged it in and fired it up for the very first time since i bought it and guess what it worked a treat!!! whoop whoop. However there was a slight weeping from the main hyraulic ram so i removed it and will get a couple of new seals for it this week. I looks like that some numptey(not me!!) at some pointed painted the end of the ram but too far down so that some of it got eaten up by the seals and knackered them. New seals are only about £15 so not expensive at all.
I've also managed to get the milling machine running off the VFD, it took a bit of jigging about with the paramters in the VFD but in the end i got there and it's working a treat, so hopefully santa will bring me some cutters for xmas and then i can make some stuff with it
Next job is to have a proper tidy up, and sort some more storage out as i think i actually have less storage now than i did before due to bigger toys
anyway heres a few pic of the tip as it stands!

glad you're enjoying it
Ive managed to tick a few more jobs off the to-do list over the weekend. First was to finish the last bit of wrapping the frame in breather membrane, so now its completely covered. With the rain kicking in a couple of times over the last week i decided the second job was to cover the roof boards in membrane to prevent it from absorbing water and possibly swelling and distorting so that took the best part of yesterday afternoon to do as i had to keep repositioning the ladder to fit it as the membrane was incredibly slippy and meant standing or sitting on it was impossible otherwise i would have slid right off the roof!
before i laid the membrane i fitted the plastic drip edge boards to the roof boards which protect the wooden fascia boards and will channel the rain water straight into the guttering.
today's job was to size up some of the board so that they were all similar width. i didn't get too far as i had to spent some time with the family but hopefully i should make some good progress this week finishing cutting the boards and also starting to fix the cladding.
Luckily my neighbours are away for a fortnight so i can dismantle the trellis fencing between the side of the shed and their bushes which will mean i can hammer in the cladding boards better as there really isn't enough space to swing a hammer at the moment
so that's it for now...but stay tuned
so the roof membrane is different to the frame work membrane
