TGIF!

It has been a busy week so TGIF - Thank Goodness Its Friday! 

The week started with five pillars on the conservatory rebuild and ended with the plastering inside being finished!

Just the floor and final electrics to be done plus a few bits outside and then it is up to me, under direction of Mrs. Woody of course, to paint inside and return the Somme like mud bath that was the garden to something that does indeed resemble a garden!

At the end of last week, whilst still viewing the five pillars, I did get my RC Tiger tank up and running at a total cost of £2.49 for the batteries for the transmitter. I did also highlight that I also had a Panzer iii. Well following a visit to the shops the checkout had 8 suitable batteries in a pack for a mere £1.79. Even more of an bargain! Once installed in the transmitter it switched on and with the tank battery charged it moved under its own power for the first time in about 8 years. It has not got all the bells and whistles that the Tiger has but it drives and the turret rotates. I have the various details that need adding in the original box which is in the loft along with the box and details for the Tiger. I will need to add these at some stage but in the meantime I am just pleased that these two models still live!
