  1. Junk cleanup yielded a piece of 4mm corrugated steel sheet.

    Just the right size for a replacement lid for the septic tank. The old concrete lid is crumbling away.

    Drew a circle with a magnet, string and a nail and set up the plasma cutter.

    This is the difficult part as we don't really have enough power for it. The 4-5mm is about the maximum I can do before the fuse blows and that is with the air compressor already offloaded to the generator.

    It worked though and if you ever tried to cut a circle with an angle grinder you know it was worth the faff.

    Hammered some flat bar from the scrap bin into a handle and sparkled that on, then some rust converter and a bit of paint.

    Good enough for sitting out in a field where nobody sees it.
