This Week's Activities
A weekend of tidying!
2 weeks of wood prep has caused so much sawdust that it's everywhere!
Even the sawdust has sawdust on it.... just bloody madness from start to finish.
So it's been a mad tidying weekend while the kids went on a trip to the Zoo near us! They got a whole day of fun, with animals, nice food and some amazing Christmas lights.
I got 2 days of tidying and many cuts and bruises from moving everything about ðŸ˜
So no new works this week, but the kids do have a lot of plans going forward.
Other Bits
We do currently have a bit of a setback due to the electrics keep tripping in the workshop. As of now there is no real exact reason as they seem to trip when we are using the tools but also randomly with no load except a freezer that was on the other side of the workshop. Sadly I hadn't noticed that the electrics had tripped and I have lost a few hundred pounds worth of food which I'm not best please about, but hey least it didn't catch fire like last time
Along with the recent cold weather, we actually managed to have the workshop a crisp -3 Degrees Celsius which is utter madness. I had never considered these temperature's and none of us have thermals and I cannot provide the kids with any new equipment until I raise a bit more money as they are quite expensive for the good stuff.
Future Plans
For now I have put on hold buying new equipment for the workshop. This does not include a reasonably priced Fire Extinguisher which I still need to buy, I just haven't got quite enough money yet for that. But it will be coming hopefully soon.
I am going to concentrate on getting the electric's sorted and safe for the kids as that is my priority at the moment. I want them to be warm, well fed and being able to use all the cool things that I get them, which currently I am only hitting the keep them a bit warm part.
I also am looking at ways to insulate the workshop on a tight budget to try and keep some of the heat in if possible. This will be great as it isn't even really winter yet in the UK and it's already mighty cold!
All of this costs money but eventually I hope that I can pull it off as I am willing to do whatever DIY that I can to make it better for them and to also keep the costs down to a minimum spend.

We have no new sponsors to announce this week sadly. But I'm still working on them for sure!
