a fairground life


Yesterday the miami was crack tested. The NDT chap has done this ride several times now (and many others) so knew his way around it. It was not long before the job was done using ultrasonic and magnetic particle inspection. I have an event coming up so I wanted this ride done now rather than wait until I was in the shed.
To get organised for the new floors going on the skydiver I spent some time pre ordering profile cut lugs for the floor hinges.
After this I went to finalise the let of the shed and pick up the keys. After the storms last night I was wondering if it would still have a roof! Thankfully all was in order and I went and got spare keys cut. One small hitch is the overhead cranes. One moves along the gantry and left & right but the hook will no raise or lower. The other moves along the gantry and raises & lowers but will not move left or right. So tomorrow I will have a look incase there is a fuse or breaker off. Apart from that I am really looking forward to getting in and started. I have enclosed a photo, (don't laugh, I like the shed, it will be home for the next 2 month)

There are three mountains of jobs to do, but I don't mind if I only get half done, it will still be a good winters work. Any way, you can only go until the money runs out!
