  1. Pakidge!

    Bearing puller finally came. Bit late in the day, but we're in a hurry, so it got put to work and while it did not fit inside the concave gear (har!) it worked anyways with some sandal squat mechanic inspiration.

    The gushing seal is busted of course but it looks like eons of normal wear rather than anything special like grass damage. Certainly hasn't been replaced in a long time, if ever. Of course now I worry about the others.

    The outer bearing is also worn out, but that's normal, the inner bearing is still ok but will get replaced too.

    I'll put it back together tomorrow and we'll see if there's any more leaks on the front axle.

  6. Found a stash in the grain barn. Very appropriate place for it really. Alas, it was empty.

  11. A belated and very overdue pruning of the pumpkin jungle.

    Mostly because I had no idea that was a thing. But it makes every sense.

  16. Frog got deported from the sauna to this well abused tree stump that now features a small pool.

    Doesn't look too upset about it. Bit of a pokerface though.

  21. It finally stopped raining and the squishy brown mud is improving, both outside and in my intestine 😜

    So continuing on the foundation job. High time.

    Took off the supports and took ages chiselling out a temporary piece of wood that was supposed to come out before the concrete set 🤦

    Then mixed up some more lime mortar and put a nice 45 degree'ish bevel on the bottom log. This is the weather side and got rained on plenty for days, yet when I pried off a piece of lime mortar for science, I found dry wood, so this works as promised.

    Lime mortar = wood can dry.
    Cement mortar = wood will die.

    Anyways, that's it. I'm definitely not back at full strength yet, bending over still gave me a pulsating headache.
