Hay again, the little Leyland and acrobat has done an average job of tossing it about for the past 5 days, or perhaps it was me doing the average job! bailing tomorrow so if you all can refrain from doing the rain dance it would be appreciated
Just need the baler to work and it will all be stress free and hunky dory...

An acrobat is relatively poor at tedding hay, it sort of turns it over but doesn't really scatter it out like a haybob for example. It is really good at rowing hay, but it has a tendency to twist it into a rope. You have to be careful when baling otherwise the baler will start pulling in the hay 20 feet in front of it because it is all twisted together.
Why the extension on the tractor exhaust?

Could that actually be an inlet snorkel ? After all they are expecting excessive rains in the near future.

Absolutely, its not ideal but the little acrobat was free! I keep looking for something a bit more modern but all the second hand stuff has been "farmered" so its knackered, exhaust extension to keep the by product of the little Leyland out of my lungs!
Thats either a very light tractor, or someone stole the bar?

Pair of tap holes in stainless steel worktop and overhead sink + common outline. I wonder how much a job like this would cost in Britain...

So about 9 ish this morning, I decided I needed to remove a propellor, as I'd already removed the skeg and rudder, to change the cutlass bearing, boats been sold, client request.... Doesn't actually need changing, but clients always right etc.
So 14 years ago in urgence, I banged together this simple but effective extractor, which until today had never failed to work.
Today it wasn't having it.
M16 threaded rod, couple of disks, one with a slot in it goes over the prop shaft, before I started tightening.
Anyway instead of the prop eventually popping off, it just resisted, and the tired 8mm steel, just bent.
Need something more hardcore.
12mm steel, plasma cut, ground tidyish, big drills bought, much drilling later, had this.
Just got to cut some threaded bar tomorrow, pull the old one off, and reattack.
Actually I've left it for my new colleague to do tomorrow, as I've a day off tomorrow.
Hence instructions.
Bloody boats.

Good progress on the upstairs en suite bathroom in our 'old house project' over the past few days.
I made a marble backsplash for the vanity countertop, using pieces of marble tiles and trim that were left over from tiling the shower enclosure walls. The gray-framed window at the left of the vanity is designed to 'borrow' afternoon light from the window across the hallway. It's all inside the master bedroom suite, so privacy is less of an issue, although a translucent curtain could always be installed.
I installed the frameless glass shower surround. These frameless surrounds are touchier to install than framed surrounds, since you can't hide errors by just sliding the glass to varying depths into extruded frame elements. Masking it for caulking was also a bit fussy, since I decided to mask around all of the clamps/brackets/supports. The most difficult part was bending myself into a pretzel to do the masking on the low parts inside the shower enclosure. My back is still a bit sore.
I also finished installing the toilet and bidet. You might notice the spacer I installed under the bidet to bring it up to the same (more comfortable) height as the toilet. I made that spacer some time ago and posted it HERE on the forum. The color of the spacer isn't a perfect match for the bidet, but I think it's probably close enough.
The toilet is a 1.2-gallon-flush water-saver model, and it works like magic, "now you see it, now you don't." We have an identical one that has been thoroughly tested and proved its worth.
The Corkoleum cork flooring has multiple finish coats of Bona Traffic HD two-part urethane on it, which appears to be a very tough finish, so it should hold up well.
We're thinking about adding a simple chair rail at the countertop height and possibly painting the wall/wainscot under the chair rail in a 'transition' color between the tan of the floor and the gray of the cabinet, but that's not a priority right now.
The bathroom still needs to be accessorized (towel racks, TP holder, etc.). The next thing we're trying to finish up is the upstairs master bedroom area. We're mostly done, but still need to do some fireplace hearth repair, floor painting, and baseboard heater installation.

I hope you don't get the cleaning the shower job!
